Police are appealing for information after a woman was assaulted on the hard shoulder of the M6 in Carlisle today.

At around 2.30pm, a black Range Rover pulled onto the hard shoulder of the motorway just before junction 43 at Rosehill and a female passenger got out.

She was soon followed by the male driver of the car and sat on the grass verge. The man was seen shouting at the woman for around five minutes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Lafferty at Cumbria police on 101.
