ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to a road rage incident in Weston where a driver was allegedly assaulted with a hammer.

About 2pm on Monday (2 December 2024) the drivers of a white Toyota Hilux ute and a White Volkswagen Amarok ute interacted with each other while driving in the Weston Creek area.

Soon after, both vehicles travelled down Kirkpatrick Street (near the RSPCA facility) and they both pulled off the road onto a dirt path.

At this point, the driver of the Volkswagen allegedly got out of his vehicle, retrieved a hammer from the tray ute, and assaulted the driver of the Toyota.

The Volkswagen driver was approximately 190cm (6’3”) tall, slim build with short grey hair, a grey moustache and he was wearing a black shirt and black pants. His vehicle had a high visibility strip under the windows and the letters PD on the front doors.

ACT Policing is seeking dash-cam footage and anyone who witnessed the initial interactions between the two white utes as well as anyone who saw or filmed the alleged assault on Kirkpatrick Street.

Anyone who can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.  Please quote 7916711. Information can be provided anonymously.
