Bli Bli road rage attack: Wild moment barefoot tradie beats his opponent with a spirit level in front of horrified school children

Terrifying footage has emerged of the moment a tradie beat a man with a spirit level during a wild road rage attack in front of school children.

The road rage incident was captured by startled students on a school bus at Bli Bli, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, on April 19.

Footage circulating on social media showed a man reaching into his car before he grabbed the spirit level and chased down a man. 

The tradie was seen running barefoot when a nearby driver attempted to intervene, but his pleas went unheard as the tradie continued toward his target.

A man wearing a colourful t-shirt ran around a parked car trying to outrun his attacker before he tripped and fell onto the ground. 

The furious tradie then raised the spirit level above his head before brining it down on the fallen man.

He struck him multiple times before nearby residents jumped in to intervene. 

The students on the bus began to cry out in horror at what they had just witnessed on their way home from school. 

One child could be heard repeatedly saying, 'I'm scared'. 

The video was shared on Instagram with the caption: 'Road Rage in Bli Bli this afternoon!! Some bloke gets a good flogging with a spirit level'.

Social media users were disgusted by the behaviour that was on display. 

'That is horrible,' one wrote.

'I hope the kids that were scared and upset get the support they need,' another said.

Queensland Police are investigating the incident. 

At this stage no charges have been laid.
