The video captures a scene of traffic gridlock on Currumburra Road in Ashmore, where a motorist in a silver Volkswagen ute is struck through his car window by another individual positioned in the roadway.

The ute is then seen to make an illegal U-turn, driving over a median strip to pull up in front of a white Holden Commodore sedan.

The sedan then swerves around the ute before a chase appears to unfold.

The video has been viewed more than three million times on Facebook.

Police are investigating despite not receiving a complaint.

“No complaints have been filed by either of those drivers as of now, but we are conducting investigations to find them,” stated Acting Superintendent Michelle Piket.

“I just encourage everyone to be calm when they’re driving to make sure everyone gets to their location safely.”

Police are preparing for Operation Cold Snap, which will target dangerous driving during the school holidays.
