A shocking road rage incident in Slough saw a driver scale a lorry to attack its driver through the window.
The dramatic confrontation, which occurred at a busy crossroads in the Berkshire town on October 8, was captured in a 47-second video by an onlooker.
The incident involved a grey Vauxhall Astra driver who, after failing to open the lorry’s locked door, climbed through the vehicle’s open window to reach the driver inside.
The incident began when the Astra driver swerved in front of the HGV at the traffic lights.

“It’s about to kick off. Oh s**t its frying. Man jumped in there,” the onlooker says in the footage.
The witness then claimed: “I can’t lie, the driver tried to run him over,” though there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the lorry driver.
“They are beefing in there. Feds are due to pull up,” the filmmaker added as police arrived at the scene.
