A dark Ford Mondeo pulled in front of his car and the driver reportedly got out and punched the victim through an open window.

A second man allegedly stole a bag after opening one of the victim's car doors, and then both suspects left the scene in the Mondeo.

The suspects are described as white and in their late 20s or early 30s.

One had ginger or blonde hair and was wearing a blue T-shirt and shorts. The second had short dark hair and was wearing a black hooded top and a blue tracksuit.

Det Con Chris Welham, of West Kent CID, said: "An investigation is underway into the circumstances and we are urging witnesses or anybody with information to call our appeal line.

"Motorists with dashcam and residents with private CCTV are also asked to check for footage that may assist."
