Queensland Police are looking for a man who repeatedly tried to punch a truck driver during a road rage incident north of Brisbane.
Footage of the attack has been released by police and shows a man getting out of a white Hyundai Getz and yelling at the tow-truck driver.
He then punched the front window of the truck, kicked the driver's side door and tried to land several blows on the 48-year-old driver, who managed to escape injury.
The man continued to yell abuse before getting into his car and driving off.
Police said the incident occurred on the Bruce Highway at Caboolture on February 8 about 1:50pm.
A police spokesman said officers were looking for a 27-year-old suspect.
The tow-truck company posted security camera images on their Facebook page on Wednesday and said they had been "inundated" with responses from people who claimed to know the attacker.
"We have now informed police who the person is. It is so great to see that so many people in our community do care, and want to work together to stop rage incidents like this happening again," Clayton's Towing wrote on their Facebook page.
"It was an unprovoked attack with our driver simply driving behind the vehicle at a safe distance before being stopped."
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers.
