A MOTORIST watched as two men charged towards him with pieces of masonry and hurled them at his car.
Anthony Hall reversed as two blocks narrowly missed his Rover during a road-rage attack in Worcester centre.
Moments earlier, Dil Pizir and his accomplice had caused £1,000 damage to the car, raining kicks and punches on it, tearing a strip of rubber off the wing and breaking both wing mirrors.
The confrontation, which began in Cherry Tree Walk, prompted a chase down Castle Street, into Severn Terrace, and finally Sansome Walk.
Magistrates in Droitwich heard yesterday how Mr Hall was reversing out of Cherry Tree Walk when a silver Renault 19 containing 20-year-old Pizir as passenger and the driver - currently out of the country - sped past.
He shook his head at the pair to indicate his opinion of the driving.
Moments later, the Renault returned, "driving aggressively" at him, said Doreece Gunter, prosecuting.
The pair climbed out and began delivering blows at the car, as Mr Hall drove towards Farrier Street.
Pizir and his accomplice got back in the Renault and headed towards The Moors with Mr Hall in pursuit. They got out again, running behind a skip only to emerge with concrete blocks.
"The driver of the Renault ran towards the car holding a large piece of masonry and threw it towards Mr Hall," said Miss Gunter.
The chase continued when Pizir and his accomplice climbed into a friend's Vauxhall Cavalier and drove to Sansome Walk, where they were arrested.
Pizir, of Victoria Avenue, off Fort Royal Hill, admitted criminal damage following the incident on Monday, June 12 last year.
Andrew Childs, defending, said his client did not intend to strike Mr Hall's car with the concrete blocks.
"Both my clients felt Mr Hall was quite intimidating and were concerned he was following them," he said.
He added administrative problems and the disappearance of Pizir's accomplice had delayed progress of the case.
Pizir was fined a total of £870, including £200 compensation to Mr Hall.
