Violent threats allegedly made against a female LNP candidate on the campaign trail south of Brisbane have prompted police to charge a 53-year-old man.
Julie Talty, who is running against the ALP's Mick De Brenni in the seat of Springwood, said she was approached by a man while sitting in her parked car earlier this week.
She said he threatened to break her husband's legs.
Ms Talty, who stood down as a Redland City councillor to run for the LNP, said her 22-year-old daughter was in the car with her at the time.
"He said that he knew where we lived and he would come and break my husband's legs and really gave us quite a fright," she said.
"I was very shaken and so was my daughter."
A 53-year-old Carrara man is facing one charge of threatening violence after Ms Talty reported the incident to police and is due to appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court next month.
Ms Talty said the threat was the latest in a series of incidents in the Springwood electorate, including other verbal threats and the damage or theft to 200 LNP corflutes.
"The event on Monday I just found crossed the line completely and I couldn't just leave that be," she said.
"The bullying behaviour right through this last week has just been too much to accept."
A spokesman for the Queensland ALP said he did not believe the party had any involvement.
"Of course, Labor does not condone any violent behaviour," the spokesman said.
"The ALP is unaware of any Labor campaigner subject to these allegations but will investigate the matter further should details be provided."
