Police are hunting a man who allegedly punched a driver and threatened him with a weapon after a crash at Whittington.
A silver Mitsubishi Lancer containing a woman and two men chased a dark-coloured Ford ute containing two men on Townsend Rd about 8.25am Tuesday, police alleged.
The ute crashed into a pole near the intersection of Wilsons Rd before a man got out of the Lancer and punched the driver of the ute several times and threatened him with a weapon, police alleged.
A passer-by attempted to intervene but was also threatened by the man, police said.
The men from the ute then left the scene on foot while the occupants of the Mitsubishi Lancer left in their car.
The Mitsubishi Lancer was abandoned shortly after on Irwin Ct, Whittington, police said.
Investigators believe the occupants of the Mitsubishi Lancer were all Caucasian in appearance and aged in their 20s.
Police described one of the men as having short blonde hair at the top and sides and long hair at the back.
Police believed that the driver of the ute had a solid build and a scruffy beard.
Meanwhile, two men will face court over a pair of other incidents this month.
