Pair charged over spear gun attack

Two people have been charged over a car chase that saw a spear gun fired, and a crow bar hurled at a bashing victim as he tried to flee on the Gold Coast.

Two people have been charged after a man was punched, almost run down and chased along a Gold Coast road before a spear gun was fired at his car.

The drama began when a fight broke out at a shopping centre car park at Labrador on Sunday morning.

Police say a man punched the victim in the face before a woman, who was waiting in a car, tried to run him over.

The victim left the scene in his vehicle but was followed by the man and the woman, who fired a spear gun at the fleeing car, hurled a crow bar at it, and then rammed it, causing the windows to shatter.

The victim pulled over and called police.

A 32-year-old man has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, dangerous operation of a vehicle, dangerous conduct with a weapon and wilful damage.

A 27-year-old woman has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, dangerous conduct with a weapon and wilful damage.

Both are expected to appear at the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.

Police said they did not suspect any link to bikie gang activity at this stage.
