A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly driving a car over the top of a woman several times.
The 27-year-old from Moonee in New South Wales is accused of running the 47-year-old woman over after she chastised him for doing burnouts in a backyard.
Police allege he was at a home in Caboolture, north of Brisbane, completing burnouts in his Nissan Patrol about 11pm on Saturday when he was confronted.
He allegedly drove over the woman multiple times, resulting in significant injuries to her left leg and foot.
The alleged victim and 27-year-old are known to one another, police say.
The 47-year-old woman remains in Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries
A Queensland Police spokesman released a statement which said ‘it will further be alleged he drove over property before ramming a car’.
A 42-year-old woman from the same Namatjira Court address allegedly tried to stop the man by ramming him with another car.
His Nissan Patrol was significantly damaged in the alleged altercation, but he managed to escape through a window and allegedly tried to flee the scene on foot.
He was arrested a short time later.
The 47-year-old woman remains in Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
The man escaped injury, and will face Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday on one count of attempted murder.
