P-Plater Who Attacked Motorist

Were you a witness to a “Road Rage” incident on Wednesday night (1 September 2004) at around 7:00 pm? A P-Plate driver driving a Mitsubishi Lancer attacked another motorist at the corner of Richmond Road and Woodcroft Drive in WOODCROFT with a police type baton. The other motorist was driving a Nissan Skyline. The driver of the Nissan was with his 9 year old daughter at the time of the incident. The driver sustained arm, chest and leg injuries as a result of the attack. The vehicle was also damaged in the incident.

If you were a witness to this unfortunate incident, could you please contact Blacktown Police on 9671 9199.

Does anyone know where I could get a rear windscreen for an R34 and how much?

Thanks.

Sorry to hear it dude. You should be able to get an R34 windscreen from almost any glass place so ring around - yellow pages is your friend.

this is horrible. were the plates on the lancer identified. was the idiot trying to steal the car or what or is it a case of being involved with the wrong crowd and having an enemy?

how did this incident occur, was there a crash? or is it hust plain and simple assualt with a weapon? hope the punk is caught

good luck in fixing the car, but isnt it true that the rear windshield is fairly expensive since it has the dimister lines on it?? and i am also sure any glass place can make them or just take it to a panel beater

Copy of my police statement follows...

POLICE STATEMENT

“Road Rage” Incident

on 1 September 2004

1. My name is _____________. I currently live at _____________________________________, married with a nine year old daughter. I carry a Class C driver’s license number __I have been driving in Australia for the last twelve (12) years. I have an excellent driving history. I have never been issued with any infringement notices by the police. I have never been convicted in relation to any criminal activity.

2. This statement relates to a “road rage” incident that occurred on Wednesday, 1 September 2004, at approximately 7:10 pm. The location of this incident was at the right hand turning bay near the intersection of Richmond Road and Woodcroft Drive, WOODCROFT. The weather was fine but, being night time, it was already dark. I was driving my vehicle, a 1999 Nissan Skyline Coupe (R34) with registration number __My daughter ________ was with me at the time. She was seated at the front passenger seat.

3. It was at this location and at approximately the above indicated time that I was attacked by another motorist with a heavy blunt object. I believe this object may have been similar to a police type baton. As a result of this attack I sustained contusion injuries to my left elbow, the left side of my chest, my left lower leg and across my upper back. My vehicle also sustained damage (smashed rear windscreen) as a result of the attack. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain the registration number of the offending motorist’s vehicle.

4. The preceding circumstances of the above incident are as follows:

5. At approximately 6:45 pm on the same night (Wednesday, 1 September 2004) I, with my daughter Samantha as passenger, was driving my vehicle ________ in a westerly direction along Quakers Hill Parkway. We were heading home after a meeting with our accountant at Quakers Hill. Traffic was light to medium at this point in time.

6. At the intersection of Quakers Hill Parkway and Hambledon Road, I came to a stop behind another vehicle in the middle lane as the traffic signals indicated. There is another lane to my left which was occupied by at least two other vehicles: one directly beside me (this was the offending motorist’s vehicle) and another vehicle in front of it. I noticed at this point that the driver of the offending vehicle kept turning his head towards our direction. He was driving a Misubishi Lancer sedan (possibly a 200-2001 model). I noticed that it had a red P plate (magnet type) attached to its rear-boot panel. The colour of the vehicle was a mixture of mustard and yellow. It had chrome wheels which is typical (I thought) of young driver’s vehicles nowadays. We all proceeded in a south-westerly direction still along Quakers Hill Parkway as the lights changed to green.

7. We then came to a red traffic light at the next intersection (Quakers Hill Parkway and Eastern Road). All four vehicles were virtually in their same respective positions as in the previous intersection (Hambledon Road). I still noticed that the driver of the mustard/yellow Lancer was turning his head towards our direction. We again proceeded along Quakers Hill Parkway as the lights turned green. At this point, the driver of the mustard/yellow Lancer shot forward and cut into my lane. I wasn’t really surprised at what he did because Quakers Hill Parkway becomes one lane at this point and as he was to my left, his lane would have been one that merges into mine. However, approximately 300 metres past the intersection of Quakers Hill Parkway and Eastern Road, the driver of the mustard/yellow Lancer suddenly stopped in the middle of the one-lane road. He was stopped for at least 20 seconds. It was at this point that I suspected that the driver was apparently trying to intimidate me. I beeped at him and he started moving forward. We then continued along Quakers Hill Parkway, through the intersection with Quakers Road.

8. As we approached the roundabout at the intersection of Quakers Hill Parkway and Richmond Road, I decided to veer towards the left lane. I was intending to take the Richmond Road route to reach Woodcroft which is where we reside. It was at this point along Quakers Hill Parkway that I went past the Lancer. The Lancer was in the right lane of the road. After having passed the Lancer, I noticed that he quickly changed into the left lane behind my vehicle and started following me. I turned left onto Richmond Road. The Lancer did likewise.

9. At the intersection of Richmond Road and Woodcroft Drive, I situated my vehicle onto the right turning bay. The right-turn arrow at that intersection was red. There was a vehicle in front of me, a gold Holden Commodore (possibly a VT). I then noticed that the Lancer which had followed my vehicle was still behind me. I noticed the driver’s door open and the occupant jumped out. He was running towards my position. I decided to jump out of my vehicle and approach him. Before I was able to get out of my vehicle, this assailant struck the rear windscreen of my vehicle with what I believe was a police type baton. I continued to approach him asking him “What are you doing?” He then proceeded to strike me with the baton. I remember using my left arm to try to fend of his attack. I remember the baton striking my left arm several times. I also remember the baton striking the left side of my body as well as my back at least three times.

10. The assailant then must have somehow dropped the baton because I wasn’t getting hit by it anymore. I then tried to subdue him. I was in the process of grabbing the attacker when someone approached us and introduced himself as a “police officer”. This man ordered the person who attacked me to go back into his vehicle. This man also gave me the same instruction. I tried to explain to this “police officer” that the other guy had just attacked me and damaged my vehicle. The “police officer” continued to instruct me to stay in my car. As we both were in the process of walking back onto my vehicle, I turned my head towards the direction of where the assailant’s vehicle was situated. I then noticed that the vehicle had already left the scene. I then asked the “police officer” if he was at least able to get the registration number of the vehicle…he said no. He then said something like “there is nothing much we can do”. It was at this point that I contacted the police through my mobile phone. In the meantime, the “police officer” handed out a business card to me. He asked me to contact him in case I needed help in this case. The “police officer’s” name is ____________. Mr _______ is president of the _______ PCYC and resides at _________________, _________. He can be reached on _________.

11. As it was very dark, it is very difficult to provide an accurate description of the person who attacked me. I believe however that he is of Asian background, most likely of _______ descent. He was wearing a bonnet which dropped onto the road while I was trying to tackle him. I noticed then that he had medium length thick wavy hair. The colour of his hair is black. He sports a goatie. His height is approximately 160-165 cm. He is of thin to medium build. He was wearing a dark-coloured jumper or long-sleeved shirt. He was wearing a pair of dark-coloured jeans.

12. I make the above statement and believe it to be true to the best of my knowledge. I understand that this statement may be used as evidence in legal proceedings.

Hey mate..

Thats terrible!! Hope you catch him, I am around that area I will keep an eye out for the car...

Also might be best getting rid of the guys name and address in point 10...

Cheers

[Torrens]

Sounds like to me like it's not the full story.

From doing nothing and passing him, to him getting out of the car and smashing things up, something must have aggravated him.

Then again, I know there are crazies out there, and no one deserves what you got.

Hope they catch this nutter.

[CWest]

Hey try calling Powerplay for the window, they were able to get me side windows every time my car was broken into.

[JH32]

far out sorry to hear that ....

i hope they catch the guy responsible

[mcnamg]

do you think it may have been an attempt to steal your car?

or do you think that he was just a violent guy who doesnt like it when someone isnt intimidated by his driving?

[Blitz]

Some other stupid fcuker with an agression problem

As for the cop, I dont believe that for a second. No real police officer would tell an individual who was assulting another with a weapon to simply "go back to their car"

[mcnamg]

sounds like some pcyc volunteer who thinks hes a cop prolly just a concerned citizen a cop would have had the cuffs out right away and he would have called for backup not leaving the driver to do it and a real cop would have noted the other cars plates if he was doing half his job properly

was there anyone else in the offenders car?

and where did the "cop" come from? was he just walking his dog or did he stop in his car?

[(B1) MR_fanny]

that copper was farkin useless!!

damn crazy asian!! he was probably the type that was waiting for you to do something to give him a reason to go ken bruce on ya. but normally its because he knows you by your car and you've done something to piss him or one of his friends off....or could have been mistaken identity with you having similar looking car as the guy he was after. im asian too by the way so i know and have seen these things ...hehe.

good luck sorting it out.
