Two arrests after disturbance in Shoreham Walk, Maidstone

Two people were arrested after a road rage row reportedly ended with a motorist driving through a residential area with a man clinging to his car bonnet.

Police arrived at Nottingham Avenue, Shepway, Maidstone, at about 7.30am on Monday but one of the people involved had already left the scene in a car.

An argument is reported to have broken out after a collision between a blue Mini Cooper, with a Union Jack on its roof, and a parked car outside a parade of shops in Woolley Road, Senacre.
