Shocking road rage attack in country town forces driver to flee through cars and a red light
Shocking video has emerged of a road rage attack in a main street of country NSW town in which a man smashed another vehicle with a baseball bat.
Dashcam footage captured in Orange shows the frenzied attack at traffic lights where one driver leapt from his vehicle and attacked the car in front of him.
The video recorded in on Christmas Eve 2015 and published by Dash Cam Owners Australia Thursday shows a white 4WD ute stop at the intersection when a blue Ford Falcon pulls up suddenly behind it.
The ute tries to drive away but it is blocked by a taxi.
Shirtless and sporting a number of tattoos, the Ford Falcon driver bursts from his car with bat in hand and runs up to the driver in front.
He appears to have a few furious words through the window before stabbing at the driver with the bat.
The ute driver tries to make a getaway but their path is blocked by the taxi.
Their assailant takes a swing at the rear passenger window, appearing to smash it as the ute slams into the back of the cab, pushing it out of the way.
In a desperate effort to flee, they drive through the red light.
The road rager hopes back in their car and takes off through the red light in a different direction.
It is not clear what sparked the incident but police said the parties were known to each other.
A 23-year-old man was charged with armed intent to commit and indictable offence and malicious damage.
He will be sentenced June 6.
