Shocking footage has emerged of two Logan men attacking a man riding a scooter and then forcing him into the path of a moving truck.

A video played in a Beenleigh courtroom shows William John Forrest, 22, laying in wait against a fence on the side of a Logan Central road as Cody Jake Wilson, 33, runs down a pedestrian path.

As a scooter rider enters the dashcam footage from left of the frame, Forrest can be seen lashing out with a long wooden pole as Wilson, with another wooden pole, appears from a perpendicular footpath.

The footage depicts both men bashing the 26-year-old man with their long weapons as they chase him and force him to escape their clutches onto busy Wembley Road on January 6, 2022.

Unfortunately, a truck struck the victim as he entered the roadway and he was left looking lifeless as the driver pulled over ahead to check on him.

Another man in a silver car can also be seen stopping in traffic to run back to check on the rider as the two men run across the road.

A close-up of their faces is offered to the dashcam camera capturing the whole incident.

Wilson, who once lived with the victim, believed he had betrayed him.

His former flatmate suffered a fractured skull, a fractured left fibula and remained in Princess Alexandra Hospital for four days.

Magistrate Terry Duroux described Wilson’s actions as cowardly.

“Your behaviour was nothing short of deplorable,” Mr Duroux said in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on October 20 last year.

“This person has been hit, injured as a result of your actions and what do you do? You run.”

Wilson, from Port Macquarie, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm while armed in company and was sentenced to two years in jail, wholly suspended.

He was immediately released on parole after already serving 281 days in pre-sentence custody.

Forrest was sentenced in Beenleigh District Court earlier this month after pleading guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm while armed in company.

Judge Rowan Jackson suspended a two-year jail sentence.

The sentence will hang over the Marsden man for three years.
