Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage following an incident on the A303 yesterday (27th October 2022).

At around 7.30pm yesterday, a man and woman were travelling eastbound along the A303 in a black BMW when they had an argument.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said, "A man in his 50s has been arrested in connection with the incident and he remains in custody in Melksham. The pair are known to each other.

"We would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or anyone who may have been passing who may have captured relevant dash cam footage.
