Mr Paradiso was sitting in his car with his one-year-old daughter in the back seat when he claimed the man strangled him.

“I was already done shopping, I just got into my car and just put the window down and he rocks up and he has a car full of washing. I saw another parent just drive past and said mate you know that space is for parent parking you don’t park there and he just lost it,” Mr Paradiso said.

Mr Paradiso said the man walked off, then circled back and opened up his driver’s door and started choking him.

“He had reefed open my door and started choking me. I was buckled in and I couldn’t move at the time. I was losing consciousness and the only thing that brought me back was my one year old in the back seat,” he said.

“I managed to get out of the car and shoved him onto his car, and ripped half his shirt.

“He walked off for a second and I called the police and I took a photo of his number plate and then he came back and started shoving me and hitting me across the head, several times and my ear was ringing.”

Queensland Police said they were called to a disturbance on Florence Street at 12.30pm between two men.

Investigations are ongoing.

Mr Paradiso is calling for anyone who had witnessed the event to come forward with CCTV or dashcam footage.

Raising the question, who is allowed to park in pram spots. Private car operators are not legally obliged to provide designed parking spaces for parents.

Legally there is nothing preventing a person without a pram or infant from parking in a pram spot.

Shopping centres provide these spaces to parents as a courtesy and are not enforceable by law unlike disabled parks.
