A HORRIFIED driver spoke of the terrifying moment three men brought traffic to a standstill to carry out a road rage attack.
Three men jumped out of a black BMW X5 to attack a white van whose driver had beeped his horn at the men for cutting other cars up.
A driver travelling behind the BMW said it was being driven aggressively up until the moment it stopped in the middle of Pershore Lane, near the Sixways roundabout off the M5 motorway this morning (Wednesday).

Three men got out of the car and attacked the van, punching the wing mirrors off the vehicle.
The driver trapped behind the BMW managed to get a video of the men returning to the car.
He said: "The X5 was driving away from the Sixways roundabout in the filter lane, and pushed in front of a vehicle in front of them.
"The car beeped and a nearby van also beeped the X5 due to the dangerous driving.
"The three gentlemen then proceeded to stop completely and got out of the car and started acting really aggressive to the car they cut up.
"They realised the van was also beeping and chased it down and punched off the van's side mirrors.
"It was extremely unexpected and generally horrible to see that kind of behaviour."
The driver said he reported the incident to the police who allegedly "did not seem interested."
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "Earlier this morning we received a report a car had been damaged in Warriors Way in Hindlip.
"Any witnesses can contact us online under the Tell Us About section of our website, quoting reference 00082i of 18052022."
According to a recent AA poll, more than 18,000 people found the number one irritation of road rage was tailgating, with 26 per cent of the polled AA members expressing their frustration at people who drive too close.
Other highlighted areas included talking on a mobile, middle lane hogging, swooping across lanes, overtaking on the inside lane, littering and speeding or driving too slowly.
