Fine for Surfers road rage attack

-

A 21-YEAR-OLD man who grabbed another man and broke a windshield in a road rage attack has walked away with a $500 fine.

Saige Talin William SavilaSmit­h pleaded guilty to the May 21 incident in Surfers Paradise which left a 51-yearold man terrified. The court heard Savila-Smith ran toward the victim in his car after a minor crash on Cypress Ave at about 2.50am.

Salvia-Smith then grabbed the man’s arm, before hitting his hand on the windshield and shattering it, leaving the victim unable to drive the car. Defence lawyer Jason Grant said Savila-Smith was “extremely embarrasse­d” by the incident.

Magistrate Christophe­r Callaghan said the behaviour was “unacceptab­le” but added: “I see this is out of character for you.”
