Men impersonating police officers have been pulling over Gold Coast drivers and bashing them, officers have warned.
Police say three people have been pulled over by what they believed to be unmarked police cars and then bashed by their drivers.
A 24-year-old delivery driver was punched several times in the neck after he stopped on Thursday morning.
Officers say a man driving a white dual-cab ute flagged down the driver, spoke to him briefly and then suddenly attacked him.
In another incident a man in a blue sedan with red and blue strobe lights attached to the grille pulled over an off-duty police officer at Varsity Lakes on Sunday afternoon.
However, the suspicious car then sped off.
A check of the registration revealed the car had been stolen.
Another victim said he was bashed by a man he believed to be a police officer two weeks ago.
Two men used flashing red and blue lights to pull over the car he was travelling in at Bundall.
One man walked up and started yelling at the woman driver, while the other approached the passenger side.
The second man then punched the 64-year-old passenger in the face.
Police are urging anyone who believes they are being pulled over by someone impersonating a police officer to dial 000.
