Police have appealed for help finding a man wanted in connection with a road rage attack in Hemel Hempstead.
The victim was left with a fractured cheekbone after a “nasty” run-in on Link Road at around 1.40pm on September 21.
Today (October 22), officers released an image of Mark Sharkey, 51, whose last known address is in Howlands, Welwyn Garden City, and said enquiries are being carried out to trace him.

It comes after a black Volvo XC90 was travelling from Leighton Buzzard Road in the direction of Redbourn Road when the driver reportedly started “continually brake checking” a silver Vauxhall Corsa.
When the two cars were between the two junctions to Shenley Road, near The Melings, the Volvo driver stopped in front of the other car, got out and attacked the other driver.
Police said a member of the public then intervened, while a second person is also thought to have got out of the Volvo and got involved.
Following the attack, PC Jake Smith said: “This was a nasty incident in which the victim sustained a fractured cheekbone. We are trying to trace a man who intervened at the time and anyone else who saw the incident or who was driving in the area and had a dash cam in operation at the time.”
