CHESHIRE Police are appealing for information after a road rage incident took place in Ellesmere Port over the weekend.

Officers responded to reports of a road traffic incident in which a white van was reported to have been deliberately driven at a cyclist.

The incident is reported to have happened on Marlborough Road at around 1.12pm on Friday, March 15.

Following the collision, the driver of the van exited the vehicle and assaulted the cyclist.
