A cyclist from Bath was attacked after a row with a motorist over his driving. The attack followed an incident in which the cyclist and a friend on another bike accused the driver of cutting them up on a road in Neston, near Corsham.
The cyclists had been travelling through Neston towards Westwells when, they said, a man driving a red saloon car cut one of them up. A police spokesman said: "An altercation ensued which resulted in the cyclist falling from his bike and then being assaulted by the driver."
