A man has been forced off the road, chased and punched in the head in an alleged road rage attack on the Central Coast last night.

Police have been told a Ford Laser sedan began tailgating a Suzuki Alto in the Mardi and Yarramalong areas just before 7pm.

They will allege the 18-year-old sedan driver rammed the rear of the Alto twice, causing it to run off the road, rolling several times.

The driver was then chased from the crash scene and allegedly punched in the head.

A witness intervened and held the alleged attacker until police arrived and arrested him.

The Alto driver, a 28-year-old man from Lake Munmorah had reportedly driven to Wyong Police Station when the tailgating began but drove away when approached by a passenger from the sedan.

The teenager from San Remo, has been charged with predatory driving and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was granted conditional bail and will appear in Wyong Local Court on September 10.

The older man was taken to Wyong Hospital where he was treated for bruising before being released.
