Police are investigating a late-night incident in which a car was damaged and the driver threatened in Burgess Hill.
It happened just after midnight on Sunday, January 30th.
A group had placed a barrier (normally used during road works) across Junction Road and a large tree root, forcing the driver to stop.
As he did so, they threw objects at the car and one of them, a man described as slim, in a red hooded jumper and dark trousers, came out from the side of the road holding an unknown object and ran at the vehicle, forcing the driver to drive over the tree root which wedged underneath the car.
The car came to a stop after a few yards but the group ran off as the driver called the police.
PC Taylor Kitson said:
"This incident caused real alarm and concern to the occupants of the vehicle and we want to trace whoever was responsible.
"The motive is unclear at present, but this was reckless behaviour that had the potential to cause serious injury as well as damage.
"The photos we are releasing were captured using dash-cam footage on the car, and if anyone has any information about this incident or the possible identity of the man in the jumper, please contact us either online or by calling 101, quoting serial 16 of 30/01.
