Broadmeadows road rage: Terrifying moment when driver throws a bike at a man in a BMW before pulling a knife on him in the middle of a shopping road
An angry motorist threw a bicycle at another man before pulling a knife on him, dramatic video footage shows.
Dashcam footage shows the terrifying road rage brawl unfolding on Wilford Street in Broadmeadows, West Melbourne, on Sunday.
A younger driver wearing a manbun is seen jumping out of his white ute and approaching an older motorist in a blue BMW sedan while shouting at him in a foreign language.
Although it is unclear what started the collision, the younger man holds up traffic while throwing a bicycle at him before brandishing a large knife.
As cars honked, the younger man lunged at the older driver, who cowered behind his car, with the knife.

The aggressor then picks up the bicycle and walks back to work with it before throwing it in jail.
Wassim Bailtaji, who works at a local barber shop, told 9News that what he saw was “disgusting,” but not surprising.
‘It makes me paranoid and anxious. It’s not good (but) it’s normal for the area,” he said.
“Something like this happened to me centuries ago.”
Business owners near the Olsen Place shopping strip where it happened said the area is full of crime.
Victorian police are now investigating the bizarre incident but no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police immediately.
The crazed aggressor continued to shout at the other man in a foreign language as he picked up the bike and took it to his boss while he stole it.
