QLD:Murder charge after alleged random metal pole attack

A man has been charged with murder after allegedly beating a 78-year-old pedestrian to death with a metal pole during a violent and random rampage that also injured two other men.

A 36-year-old Bundaberg West man was charged with murder and attempted murder after allegedly driving into and assaulting multiple people near Bundaberg, north of Brisbane, on Wednesday afternoon.

The crime spree began about 1.45pm after the man allegedly deliberately reversed his silver Subaru Liberty sedan into a Tesla on the Bruce Highway in Glenorchy before verbally abusing the driver and driving off.

Shortly after in nearby Childers, the man allegedly reversed his car into a Mitsubishi Pajero, with the 65-year-old driver quickly getting out of his car to inspect the damage.
