Charges over WA hit and run

A Perth driver is accused of running another man over after he threw a metal pole at his car during a road rage incident.

Police say the pair were involved in a dispute on Saturday morning and the victim followed the driver to a home in Armadale where he threw the pole and drove away.

The driver allegedly gave chase and struck the victim with his car when he got out of the vehicle, causing him to land on the bonnet and fall onto the road.

The 40-year-old driver, who did not stop to provide assistance, has been charged with causing bodily harm.
