A woman stood her ground after three men approached her and demanded she got out of the car she was driving.
The lone woman was driving a black Vauxhall Corsa on Durham Road, Birtley, Gateshead. As she drove past the junction of Harras Bank, she was reportedly approached by three men who demanded she get out of the car.
When the driver refused, one of the men kicked the vehicle and threw a can at it, damaging it.
The woman drove away unharmed but was left shaken by the ordeal, which occurred at around 8.30pm on Sunday, January 22.
Northumbria Police is now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Enquiries have identified a dark-coloured hatchback, believed to be a Ford Focus, which turned in the road immediately after the incident.
Officers would like to speak to the driver of the Focus to see if they have any information which could assist their investigation.
The driver of the Focus, or anyone who may have information has been asked to contact the force by calling 101 and quoting reference 008632Q/23 or via the 'Tell Us Something' page of their website.
