Police have released CCTV footage after a woman attacked another woman after she had been asked to move the car she was in, which was blocking her in a road in Birmingham.
The assault took place at around 1pm on Wednesday 30 July outside the Shalil Food store in Wellington Road, Handsworth Wood.
The 44-year-old woman was driving her Ford C-Max when she was blocked in the road by another car, a grey VW Tournan, which had a woman in the passenger seat, whilst the male driver had gone to the nearby shops.
The woman asked her how long they were going to be as she was unable to pass by, and was given abuse by the woman passenger of the VW Touran. The woman then went another route and parked nearby to go to the shops.
As she walked towards the shops, the passenger of the Touran got out, grabbed her by the hair, threw her over a table outside the grocery store, before pulling her to her feet by the hair again and throwing her on the floor.
The woman, described as white, in her early 20s, with long brown hair tied back in a pony-tail, and wearing a black vest top and grey tracksuit bottoms, then went to nearby shop and returned to see the woman noting down the vehicle registration number. Shen then assaulted her again, before returning back into her car with the male driver and driving away.
The 44-year-old woman suffered a lump to her head and bruising following the assault.
PC Geraldine Sprigg from Birmingham West and Central said: “This was an unprovoked and violent attack on a woman who had asked the driver to move her car which was blocking the road.
“The assault took place in the middle of the day and we are asking for anyone who say the incident or who recognises the woman driver to contact us. The woman assaulted suffered pain and discomfort following the attack and may have lost consciousness for a short time.”
Anyone with information should call police at Birmingham West and Central on 101 or call Crimestoppers confidentially on 0800 55 111.
