Officers are appealing for witnesses to an assault which took place on the M5 last week.
A member of the public called police at around 3.40am on Tuesday 5 August to raise concerns about a woman who was seen walking along the hard shoulder of the southbound carriageway near to junction 8 for Strensham Services.
Officers located the woman and she stated that a man had punched and dragged her into the motorway before smashing off the wing mirrors of her car which was parked on the hard shoulder.
The woman sustained minor injuries and was understandably shaken by what happened.
This had taken place between junctions 8 and 9 at around 3am.
A man in his 50s and from Evesham was arrested on suspicion of common assault and later released on bail in connection with the incident however investigating officers would like anyone who saw what happened to make contact.
In particular officers would like to speak to the driver of a white van who turned up at the scene and took the woman home before coming back and collecting her car.
