Phone footage leads to road rage arrest

PHONE footage of an alleged road rage incident taken by a passenger in the vehicle being targeted has led to the arrest of a 39-year-old Turner man on Tuesday night.

He was charged with furious driving and driving while his licence was suspended.

Police say that at about 5.40pm on Sunday, the driver of a white Toyota Hilux allegedly began tailgating and intimidating another vehicle on Majura Parkway.

The driver of the Hilux then allegedly proceeded to cut the other vehicle off, and brake check them, before stopping abruptly in a left turn lane blocking any other vehicle from passing. The driver of the other vehicle chose to drive over the kerb to avoid further confrontation.

A passenger in the vehicle that was being targeted filmed the incident and this was provided to police.
