A MAN suffered facial injures when he was followed and assaulted after a collision in Doveton last week.

Police said a man and a woman had an altercation after their cars collided on the Princes Highway near Olive Road about 3.15pm on 5 March.

After the incident a man followed the male driver to the nearby Culliver Avenue where he confronted and assaulted him, police said.
