🚨 AFRICAN MEN TURN ON TRUCK DRIVER AFTER HE FILMS MACHETE ROAD RAGE CLASH

Confronting footage from Runcorn, Brisbane shows two men armed with a hammer and machete during a road rage clash with two Afghan men, before turning on a truck driver who began filming them.

The driver was allegedly dragged into a struggle after the men demanded his phone and keys, with one accused of trying to stab him through the truck window. Both men were charged over the incident.

One of them, Echibaketa Byamungu, has since pleaded guilty and will be sentenced next week. Just one day after the road rage attack, he was spared jail for a separate assault on a Brisbane bus driver.
