The couple is now asking the community to help identify the culprit after he damaged their vehicle, resulting in unexpected expenses. Mother-of-three, Brittaney Elliot, described being in the passenger seat with her partner driving as a red SUV began acting erratically on the Salisbury Highway a week prior.

When they reached the intersection of Elder Smith Road in Mawson Lakes, approximately 13 kilometers from the CBD, the aggressive driver exited his car and confronted them.

“The second I saw him at the window I freaked out,” an at-times emotional Elliot told 9News.

“He was swearing a lot. He was saying ‘get out the car, you know you want to fight me’, hitting his chest, ‘get out, get out’.”

He smashed through the driver-side window with his fist before driving away.

“(He) eventually punched through the glass and it fell down in on my partner, it cut his hands, got some cuts on his face and leg,” Elliot said.

The family car was taken off the road, forcing Elliot to pick up extra shifts at work to cover the cost of repairs. 

“It’s tough because it’s less time with my family,” she said.

The incident has been reported to police but the driver hasn’t been identified. 

“Like it’s alright, I know we’re going to find this guy, and I know we will,” Elliot said.

Authorities advise avoiding any heated clashes while driving but if caught in a road rage incident, a motorist should stay in their car and call for help.
