'Going to kill him': Man clings for life on bullbar as ute drives through Sydney
A motorist who grabbed a ute's bullbar after a prang was carried for three kilometres through Sydney while hanging off the front of the vehicle.
On Wednesday, a Toyota Camry and a Toyota Landcruiser utility were involved in a minor collision in Homebush, in Sydney’s Inner West, just before midday.
According to NSW Police, the 37-year-old Camry driver approached the other vehicle, grabbing hold of the Landcruiser’s front bullbar before it drove off.
In a video shared to the Auburn 2144 Facebook page of the incident, the person who filmed it appears to follow the vehicle while they call police.
“The guy’s going to kill him,” the person filming the ordeal is heard saying.
The man was allegedly carried an estimated three kilometres before the ute slowed down at Greenacre and he leapt. The Landcruiser then allegedly drove off.
Those in the car filming then appear to get out of the vehicle to help the man once he jumped off.
The incident was reported to officers from Auburn Police Area Command, who commenced inquiries.
Following the investigation, a 45-year-old Liberty Grove man was arrested about 3.30am on Thursday and later charged with cause bodily harm by misconduct, in charge of motor vehicle, negligent driving, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, and not give particulars to other driver, police said in a statement.
The man was granted conditional bail and will appear at Burwood Local Court on January 9.
