POLICE are looking for witnesses to a road rage incident in Hartlepool on Friday morning (January 22).

Two men, aged 19 and 49, were involved in a row on Catcote Road, near to the junction with Oxford Road, at around 8.10am.

One of the men is believed to have been driving a blue Fiat Punto and the other man was driving a silver Toyota Yaris prior to a verbal altercation which then escalated into a fight.

Both men suffered minor facial injuries as a result of the incident.
