Detectives are appealing for witnesses to an incident at Yatala last night where a man was allegedly threatened and assaulted by a group on the M1, Queensland Police say.
Around 9:45pm police were called to the M1 after the driver of a Subaru Forester station wagon was involved in a road rage incident with the occupants of a white van or mini bus.
Initial investigations indicate the two vehicles stopped on the side of the M1 between Pimpama and Yatala where a physical altercation has occurred.
As a result, the driver of station wagon sustained serious head injuries from being assaulted with an unknown weapon by occupants of the van.
