Disturbing images show the moment a motorcyclist was allegedly dragged to the ground and brutally bashed by two men outside a popular Townsville shopping centre.
Police will allege a 49-year-old Kirwan man was riding his motorcycle along Stock Route Way at Domain Central when he was flagged down by the two men — not known to him — in a silver Holden Colorado Utility between 11am-12pm on Wednesday.
The two men exited the ute and allegedly assaulted the man, dragging him to the ground, where he was kicked and punched multiple times.
Police will also allege the duo stole both the motorcyclist’s jacket and shirt before returning to their vehicle and fleeing the scene.
The motorcyclist sustained significant facial injuries as a result of the alleged assault.
Rebels OMCG Townsville chapter president Jason Michael Heang, 39, has been charged with one count of robbery with violence in relation to the incident.
