Mandurah: Man caught on dashcam pulling machete from pram to confront driver
A driver’s dashcam captured the shocking moment a man pulls a machete from a stroller containing a small child on a zebra crossing.
The disturbing video was shared after a motorist saw the man with the gun approach to confront another driver at the intersection of Pinjarra and Mandurah Roads in Mandurah, south of Perth, at around 12.40am on Tuesday.
The dashcam showed a group of four men with a pram walking across the road at a zebra crossing near the Mandurah Forum shopping centre.
A man stopped at the side of the road and bent over to grab what appeared to be a large knife from the bottom of the stroller.
While another man looked at the child inside the man, the armed man walked to a white car parked around the corner along the road.

The armed man threw his hands up in frustration as the driver drove away
The parked vehicle drove away before the man could cause any damage, causing him to throw his hands in the air, apparently in frustration.
“Guns are illegal to carry, knives are not and can be bought anywhere. Scary!” the dashcam owner posted online.
Western Australia Police have not yet received a report of the incident.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
