A FLY-IN, fly-out worker from Singleton has been charged over a road-rage attack on the Kwinana Freeway in Success in which he allegedly shattered a car window with his fist.
Police charged the 29-year-old man a day after communitynews.com.au aired footage of the incident taken on the victim’s mobile phone.
Police say the man was a passenger in a black Holden Astra that was being driven aggressively after an incident with another driver on the Freeway onramp last October.
