Police have charged a man following investigations into a dispute between two drivers which resulted in a 20-year-old man being seriously assaulted.
At 1.40pm on April 29, the man and his female passenger were in his Toyota Hilux utility, driving behind a grey Prado allegedly bearing false plates on Valley Way at Mount Cotton.
Both vehicles drove a short distance before they pulled over to the side of the road at Burbank.
Police will allege the driver of the Prado exited his vehicle and walked over to the utility driver and punched him in the face. The impact broke the man’s jaw in two places.
The Prado driver then allegedly came back to the utility and kicked the driver’s door shut, causing a large dent in the vehicle.
A 25-year-old Russell Island man has been charged with grievous bodily harm, wilful damage and unlicensed driving.
He will appear in the Cleveland Magistrates Court tomorrow (May 7).
