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.

The car pulled over on a slip road for the A338 Tidworth junction when the driver got out and dragged the passenger from the vehicle, leaving her at the side of the road.

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.

"If you can help, please call 101 and quote crime reference number 54220113643. Alternatively, call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
