British boxing champion Aamir Khan was reportedly attacked by a group of men in his hometown of Bolton, Greater Manchester, after a car rammed into his £100,000 Range Rover. It is reported that both the parties confronted each other over the collision which is believed to have been caused when the 30 year old took a wrong turn.

A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said, “We were called to reports of road rage incident/assault. It appears the person driving has made a wrong turn and this has angered the person behind him and there's been an altercation. The driver of the first car was punched. There were no arrests. Anyone with information should contact us.” She added that items had been thrown during the clash, however, could not confirm what they were. This isn't the first time Khan broke the speed limit. The boxer admitted breaking a speed limit by 26 mph last year, but avoided a road ban after claiming he was trying to shake off a crazed fan tailgating his personalised Land Rover.

He was convicted of careless driving and given a six-month driving ban and fined £1000, in 2007, after accidentally mowing down and injuring a pedestrian using a pelican crossing.
