Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Police investigating a road-rage incident were interviewing two men last night after a man was held up at gunpoint at the Milton interchange near Cambridge. The gun, later found to be a toy, was held to the head of the man on Sunday night, a week after the road-rage killing of Stephen Cameron at Swanley, Kent.
The man threatened had got out of a car being driven by his wife after they had been forced to stop when another car was driven towards them the wrong way along a slip-road. "The woman sounded the horn as a warning and stopped the car," a Cambridgeshire police spokesman said. "Her husband got out to speak with the driver of the Sierra, who opened his door and produced something that looked like a handgun. He put it to the head of the man, and said something to him."
The couple drove home and then telephoned police. Later a car was stopped by Essex police on the M11, when a toy gun was found. Police said four people were taken into custody. Two women were later released, and two men, 24 and 17, were detained for questioning. Peter Victor
