The black car allegedly stopped after the white car kept speeding behind it and the white car hit the black car from the back. The woman driving the car in the back attempted to reverse the car but the man managed to land a blow.

This footage follows after videos surfaced of a road worker assaulting a Transport Malta officer with a traffic cone. Road rage incidents in Malta only seem to be on the increase as people deal with situations themselves in a rash manner.
