A driver was brutally assaulted by two men who were allegedly angered by the victim sticking to the 40 km/h speed limit on a busy road in Melbourne's north earlier this month.
28-year-old Ali Al Khalidi was set upon by two tradies as he stopped at a traffic light at the busy Sydney Road.
Vision captured on a surveillance camera shows two men attacking Ali and throwing punches at him after one man broke his vehicle’s driver side window by kicking it.
“I was receiving punches [on the head] and backed out.. you know.. I couldn’t see anything,” Mr Al Khalidi told 7 News.
“I was doing the speed limit and there was a truck behind me. It started beeping.. just go… go..”

The assailants unleashed a tirade of racist remarks as they viciously attacked the victim.
“I had put the window up.. but they shouted ‘you %$#^ing Indian.. you %$#^ing Indian’. They will kill somebody,” Mr Al Khalidi added.
The terrifying road rage incident happened in the middle of a busy road in broad daylight and witnessed by a number of people. One of them noted down the registration of the truck and informed the police.
The offenders have not been caught so far.
