The victim, a 22-year-old man, was attacked inside the Spar store on the High Street, before being dragged outside and repeatedly punched and kicked.
He suffered facial injuries and needed treatment at hospital.
The assault, which occurred at around 8.20am on Tuesday 7th March, happened about 20 minutes after a road rage incident on the A4 London Road, in which a silver Transit van, being driven by the offender, pulled in front of the victim’s lorry, causing him to sound his horn.
At one point during the assault, a woman in a red car stopped to shout at the offender.
Officers would also like to identify this woman as she may have information which could assist them.

The offender is described as white, aged mid-forties to mid-fifties, slim, with a ginger beard, and he was wearing green cargo trousers, a grey hooded top and a grey/khaki beanie style hat.
The silver Transit van he was driving was possibly a 68 plate, with ladders on the roof.
If you recognise the man, or have any other information which would help the investigation, call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223054155.
