AUSTRALIA - Multiple charges over road rage incident

OFF THE WIRE
A bikie has been charged with kicking a man as he lay on the ground during a violent road rage incident.

He's the second man from a motorcycle gang to be charged over the attack at Seven Hills, in Sydney's west, earlier this month.

A 40-year-old man was driving with his wife along Artillery Road when he inadvertently sounded his horn about 10am (AEST) on July 2.

A man sitting in the passenger seat of a four-wheel drive behind them got out and started kicking the couple's car and punching the man's head, police allege.

He then went back to the four-wheel-drive which drove away.

But it returned to the scene moments later and both the driver and passenger got out of the car.

They allegedly punched the man until he fell to the ground and then kicked him as he lay on the ground.

He was treated in hospital for extensive bruising to his face, neck and torso.

A 28-year-old associate member of the Bandidos was arrested on the day of the attack but he refused to reveal the identity of his passenger.

The driver of the four-wheel-drive faces charges of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm in company, affray, driver not disclose identity of passenger and breach of bail.

Another Bandidos' member, aged 37, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with a string of offences, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

He has been refused bail to appear in Penrith Local Court on Wednesday
