A VAN driver was punched in the face after an argument about a parking space.

At around 9pm on Thursday, September 10, a 25-year-old man was trying to park his white van on Kenton Road around a black Mercedes car, which was blocking the space.

The van driver asked the Mercedes driver to move so he could park up, but the car moved only when the van reversed nearly hitting it.

The van driver then got out of the car and went into a nearby off-licence, where he was approached by two men and asked to step outside the shop.

Once outside, one of the men hit him several times in the face.

The van driver drove off, followed by the Mercedes, before stopping at Kingsbury Circle to look at his facial injuries in his wing mirror. He was then assaulted a second time.

The suspect is described as a white man aged between 25 and 35 years.

Anyone who can identify the man shown in the CCTV footage or who has information relating to the assault is asked to contact police via 101 quoting reference 190300 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
