Police are appealing for witnesses to two alleged racist road rage incidents in Middlesbrough.
The first one took place on Sunday, November 23 at about 3.30pm and involved two vehicles - a small blue Toyota and a small silver Peugeot.
Both cars were travelling along the A1085 Trunk Road in Middlesbrough at the junction of Cargo Fleet Lane which changes from two lanes to one lane.
One vehicle overtook the other before the road change back into two lanes at the approach to the traffic lights at Cleveland Retail Park. The vehicles travelled alongside each other and the occupants were then involved in a verbal altercation in which racist abuse allegedly occurred.
Around 20 minutes later a further altercation occurred involving the occupants of both vehicles - two males and two females - outside Pets at Home at Cleveland Retail Park.
It is believed that a number of members of the public may have witnessed this incident and officers would encourage those people to come forward and speak to them.
Any witnesses or anyone with further information regarding either incident is asked to contact PC Neil Lamb from Middlesbrough Police on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
