A man was this morning jailed for one month after he was found guilty of punching a woman in the face in a road rage incident.

The court heard that victim Anna Maria Angela Vella was driving in Triq Dun Karm, Msida (near Klikk Computers) towards the University, when aggressor Joseph Cutajar, 38, came out of a side road and kept driving in spite of a give way sign, stopping only when Ms Vella honked her horn and continued to drive, as she had the right to do.

Mr Cutajar drove behind her, overtook her and stopped his car in front of hers so that she would not be able to drive.

He went out of his car and hit her in the face.

Magistrate Francesco Depasquale found Mr Cutajar guilty of driving dangerously and carelessly and of slightly injuring Ms Vella.
