-

A ROAD rage driver bit a woman’s face and scarred her for life during a vicious attack which ruined her family’s Christmas.

The female motorist also punched, kicked and pulled out clumps of the 23-year-old’s hair in the street in broad daylight.

The victim needed two stitches to her face and police are investigat­ing what they have called an unprovoked attack.

The victim’s mother, who does not want to be named, said her daughter was afraid to drive and had missed shifts as a carer since the attack last Monday. The other woman drove her silver convertibl­e away after the incident in the Millbridge area of Stoke. The Plymouth mum said after the attack: “She (the other driver) is going to have a lovely Christmas, but Christmas is ruined for all of us. My daughter has been scarred for life over something silly.”

A spokespers­on for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “Police are investigat­ing an unprovoked assault on a woman following a road rage incident in Plymouth.”

Witnesses are asked to contact police via 101@dc.police.uk or by telephone on 101, CR/106636/20.
