A man will appear in court today after allegedly running a pedestrian over on the state’s north coast earlier today, NSW Police say.
About 11am today, a 27-year-old woman was driving her car along Mann Street at Nambucca Heads.
She was travelling with a 37-year-old man and a nine month old baby when a blue Holden overtook them at high speed.
A short time later the woman drove into Palmer Street and saw the Holden on the side of the road with the male occupant waving his hands out of the driver’s window.
The woman stopped near the Holden and the man threatened the couple and produced a knife.
The 37-year-old man alighted from their vehicle and approached the Holden which drove away.
The woman drove her vehicle off the road and into the front yard of a nearby home.
The 37-year-old man ran towards the vehicle parked in Palmer Street when police will allege that the Holden was driven towards him.
The man was struck by the Holden which also hit the parked vehicle. The unknown driver then fled from the scene in the Holden.
Police located the vehicle at Raleigh and spoke with the owner.
A 27-year-old man was later arrested at Coffs Harbour and charged at the police station with affray, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm and drive furiously in motor vehicle do/cause bodily harm.
He was refused bail to appear at Coffs Harbour Local Court tomorrow.
The 37-year-old man was treated at the scene for lacerations to his legs and conveyed to Coffs Harbour hospital in a stable condition.
