Good Samaritans have bravely stepped in to stop a man accused of deliberately driving his car at another man during an act of road rage on Brisbane’s northside.

A 53-year-old Coolum Beach man was charged with acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm after he allegedly ran down a 36-year-old Brisbane man during an incident on the Southern Cross Way northbound at Northgate about 2.15pm on Wednesday.

Police allege the pair pulled over their cars - a red 2012 Renault Megane and 2008 green Holden Commodore sedan - and the 36-year-old exited his vehicle and approached the other driver.

After a short conversation the 53-year-old allegedly ran down the other man.

Members of the public stopped to help the injured man before preventing the 53-year-old man from leaving the scene.

The younger man sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police arrested the 53-year-old man who has since been granted bail. He is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on March 29.

Anyone with dashcam footage or witnesses of the incident are urged to contact police.
