Two assaults on the highway through Dunedin prompted calls from the police.

Police are investigating two road rage incidents in Dunedin, one involving a bus driver and the other involving a windshield wiper being pulled from a vehicle.

Police have yet to find a 36-year-old man, who allegedly threatened a 61-year-old driver.

The altercation unfolded on Dunedin’s Moray Pl, near Countdown, around 12:45 p.m. Friday.

Acting Sergeant Major Anthony Bond said the young man tried to merge between the vehicles, causing the major’s vehicle to be scraped.

The older man confronted the driver, only for the driver to threaten to kill him, before ripping off the rear windshield wiper and throwing it at another man.

Investigations into the incident are continuing, Bond said.

Police were called in for another road rage incident, this time on Signal Hill Rd, around 5 p.m. Sunday.

This involved a 22-year-old man who got angry with a bus driver outside his home.

An argument escalated between the couple and “got physical,” Bond said.

The pair exchanged blows with each other, and then both allege that the other started the altercation.

Bond said the investigation was awaiting CCTV from the bus company.
