Chelmsford: Man dies after suspected row between two drivers

The incident happened on Legg Street, Chelmsford, on Wednesday at about 21:15 BST

A man has died after what police said they believed to be a confrontation between the drivers of two vehicles.

Essex Police said officers were called to Legg Street, Chelmsford, just before 21:15 BST on Wednesday following reports of a man being seriously assaulted.

The force said the man, aged in his 60s, died in hospital on Friday.

Police said a 20-year-old man from the city was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm without intent.

He has since been released on bail until 1 November while inquiries continue, the force added.

An Essex Police spokesperson said: "It is believed that the incident started with a confrontation between the drivers of two vehicles, one being a black Vauxhall Corsa and the other being a white Luton van, at the junction of New Street and Legg Street.

"The incident then continued on to Legg Street where the victim was seriously assaulted."

Police appealed for witnesses.
