Police are appealing for witnesses after a driver was reportedly assaulted following a crash in Wolverhampton.

Officers said a grey VW Golf and a man riding a black mountain bike collided on Clifford Street, in Whitmore Reans, at about 16:20 BST on Tuesday.

Following the incident, it was the understood the cyclist approached the car and "assaulted the driver", West Midlands Police said.

Both men then left the scene, with the cyclist heading in the direction of Albert Road and the driver leaving in a second vehicle.

No injuries have been reported but the force said it had reviewed CCTV and was working to identify those involved.

"We'd ask drivers who were in the area at the time to check their dashcam and for any pedestrians who were walking nearby to speak with us," a spokesperson added.

Information can also be submitted anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers.
