Police are appealing for help finding a woman suspected of trying to drag a victim out of her car.
The assault took place in the McDonalds car park at Galleys Corner, Braintree, at 12.30am on Saturday, February 2.
The victim was sat in her car when she accidentally leant on her horn.
This prompted a woman to get out of a Mitsubishi car and walk over to the victim's Ford Fiesta.
The suspect is then reported to have opened the car door and shouted abuse before attempting to drag the victim from her car, causing injuries to her head and face.
The attacker then got back into her car and drove off.
She is described as white, aged 20 to 40, with straight brown shoulder length hair.
The woman was wearing patterned leggings with knee high black boots and spoke with a local accent.
Anyone who recognises the e-fit or the description, or who has any other information about this incident, is asked to call Braintree Police on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
