Scrambler riders knocked off bike as Porsche driver chases men in 'road rage'

A Porsche was damaged in a "road rage" incident in Liverpool.

Police confirm they were called to reports of two men on a scrambler bike causing damage to a Porsche at around 1.20pm on Monday, March 20. Officers attended the scene, on the junction of West Derby Road and Sheil Road, where a video was also captured of two men being knocked off a scrambler bike and being chased on foot.

Officers said they received further reports of a fight after the alleged road rage incident. A man was found injured nearby on West Derby Road and was taken to hospital for assessment for minor injuries.

Shortly after this, police also reported that damage was caused to a police car attending the scene. Enquiries are ongoing, including CCTV and dashcam, and the bike has been seized.

Footage from the incident appears to show two men being knocked off the scrambler bike as it weaves in front of traffic. Two men then get out of a nearby car and chase the bike's riders as they run across the road.

Detective Inspector Neil Dillon said: "This appears to have been a road rage incident which escalated, and thankfully nobody was more seriously hurt. A police vehicle was also purposefully damaged when responding to this incident, preventing it being used to respond to emergency situations and assist the public.

"We're gathering all available evidence including CCTV and dashcam from what is a very busy junction. If you saw or captured anything, please come forward and we will take action. You can pass on information to @MerPolCC or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with reference 23000235965."
