A GANG of men armed with machetes and bats attacked a delivery driver in Wombourne.
Detectives are appealing for information after the driver, who is in his 40s, was attacked on Common Road just before 6.15pm on Saturday (December 16).
They said the attack was "vicious" and are reviewing CCTV in the area.
Three men in a car blocked the driver in as he was sitting in his silver Vauxhall Vectra.
They then started hitting his car with bats and machetes and he was struck, leaving him needing hospital treatment.
He is continuing to receive treatment after the ordeal. Police said his injuries are not life-threatening or life-changing.
They have appealed for witnesses to get in touch.
Police Constable Simon Thomas, from the South Staffordshire local policing team, said: “This was a particularly vicious attack and we are appealing for people to come forward with any information.
"We are carrying out enquiries in the local area – including looking at CCTV and speaking to residents."
Anyone with information, or CCTV or dashcam footage, is urged to get in touch by calling 101, quoting incident 606 of 16 December.
