M25 'road rage brawl' as woman drags motorist from car by hair
The M25 was blocked while six people jumped from cars and were seen brawling in the carriageway. Eyewitnesses said the incident looked like it was a road rage brawl
A woman was seen dragging another motorist out of their car by their hair, as six people were captured on camera having a "road rage brawl" on a motorway.
The group of people - two men and four women - can be seen throwing punches at one another before a woman drags another woman out of a car by her hair. According to a witness the fight involved occupants of a white Audi A3 and a larger black car on the M25.
The scrap took place on Sunday evening on the southbound lanes of the motorway, in Surrey and near the J12 Thorpe interchange with the M3. Surrey Police confirmed that four people were arrested on suspicion of affray and assault - three have since been released under investigation and one has been released with no further action.
An eyewitness who drove past at the time said: "It looked like a road rage brawl. They pulled a girl out the car and we have no idea what it was about. It was mad, it was insane - right in the middle in of the lane. I went into the left-hand lane and drove straight past them. The whole motorway was blocked."
A Surrey Police spokesman said: "Officers were called to reports of an assault at the roadside between Junction 11 and 12 of the M25 at around 7.15pm on Sunday, 7 September.
"Four people were arrested in connection with this incident on suspicion of affray (public order offence) and assault. Three have been released under investigation and one has been released with no further action.
"If you have any information which may help our investigation, including dashcam footage, please contact us on 101."
