Terrifying footage has emerged of the moment a tradie hit a man with a spirit level during a wild road rage attack in front of schoolchildren.
The road rage incident was captured by startled students on a school bus in Bli Bli, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, on April 19.
Footage circulating on social media showed a man getting into his car before grabbing the spirit level and chasing a man.
The tradie was seen running barefoot as a nearby driver tried to intervene, but his pleas went unheard as the tradie neared his target.
A man wearing a colorful T-shirt ran around a parked car and tried to outrun his attacker before tripping and falling to the ground.

The video was shared on Instagram with the caption: ‘Road Rage in Bli Bli this afternoon!! Some guy’s getting a good beating with a spirit level.’
