A popular crocodile wrangler fell victim to a road rage incident on Sunday after he claims he was “spat on” by a bong-wielding man on the Pacific Motorway in Brisbane, Australia.
Steven Turnbull, also known as Croc Turnbull to his thousands of Instagram and TikTok followers, makes popular educational videos about kangaroos, snakes, crocodiles and other Australian wildlife.
On Dec. 22, dashcam footage shows a silver hatchback slowing to a stop on a busy motorway before the shirtless driver gets out of the car and approaches Turnbull’s vehicle.
Turnbull claimed the incident happened after he honked the hatchback driver for swerving in front of him as he was merging onto the M1.
“I tried to take the Rochedale turn off, and he cuts across and then jumps out of the car with the bong in his hand and came down and started abusing me and smashed the side mirror off the car,” he claimed in an interview with the Courier Mail.
“He spat on me and my son, so I wound the window up, and he tried to smash the window with the bong.”
The alleged assault occurs off-camera, though viewers see the dashcam footage shake at the moment Turnbull claims the window was hit.
Unintelligible conversation is heard in the background of the video before the driver runs back to his car.
As the cars resume driving, the hatchback abruptly crosses two lanes of traffic and starts speeding off on against the flow of traffic on the wrong side of the road.
