“It was reported to police and I will be seeking charges. Just posted here to make people aware to be vigilant,” she said on social media.

“Brave man, if a father walked past and seen that, oh lord … I know my daughter’s father would have ripped him out of his car and who knows what would happen after that … I know it wouldn’t be good,” Harmony-jae Perkins said.

“Nowhere is safe,” Annabelle Williamson said.

“So scary,” Lesley Cavanagh said.

“So many horrible people around at the moment. There’s an incident every other day in Noosa,” Meg Agostino said.
