Dangerous operation charge – Kippa Ring
Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident at Kippa Ring earlier today where a motorcyclist was allegedly threatened with a plank of wood by another motorist.
At around 7.45am, an alleged altercation occurred in the east bound lanes of Anzac Avenue between the driver of a grey Suzuki Grand Vitara station wagon and a man on a motorbike.
During the incident, it will be alleged the driver of the Suzuki veered towards the red motorbike and then drove over a median strip towards the rider at speed in heavy traffic, nearly colliding with other vehicles.
Both the vehicle and motorbike came to a stop at the intersection of Anzac and Elizabeth avenues where the driver exited the Suzuki and walked towards the rider armed with a piece of timber.
The rider was forced to accelerate at speed to avoid being struck.
The driver got back in his vehicle and drove away.
A 55-year-old man has been charged with one count each of going armed to cause fear and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
He is expected to appear in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on December 18.
Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnesses the incidents or dash cam footage in the area.
Investigations into the crash are continuing.
