Man charged over headbutting moving cars | video

A crazed man who headbutted and jumped on several moving cars on the Kwinana Freeway on Monday night has been charged with a string of offences.

It will be alleged the 34-year-old man crashed his Mazda ute into an unattended Volkswagen in the emergency lane of the Kwinana Freeway near Canning Bridge just after 7pm.

The man then ran into oncoming traffic, jumped on the bonnets of some cars and threw himself head first into the windows of others. Windscreens and windows of several cars were damaged, forcing traffic to stop which caused a major backlog on one of the city's main highways.

Eye witnesss later took to social media to report the incident. One person posted "dashcam" footage of the man on the internet.

Last night police charged the Gwelup man with 11 counts of damage. He is due to appear in court later this month. After the man was arrested he was taken to Fremantle Hospital for mental health assessment.
