Police have charged a woman with attempted murder after a cyclist was allegedly struck by a vehicle in Inala early this morning.
Around 4.30am a cyclist was travelling on Wirraway Parade when it will be alleged a 4WD deliberately hit the rear wheel.
The cyclist stopped and the woman allegedly drove at the man who jumped a front fence of a house in Lapwing Street for safety.
The driver of the 4WD then crashed into four fences before allegedly running over the man’s bike laying on a footpath.
Police attended and arrested the woman who was stopped in the 4WD further along Lapwing Street.
A 45-year-old Durack woman has been charged with one count each of attempted murder and dangerous driving, and five charges of wilful damage (four fences and the bicycle).
She is due to appear in the Richland Magistrates Court on Monday, November 1.
The 42-year-old Durack cyclist was transported to hospital for leg injuries but released after receiving medical attention.
The man and woman are not known to each other.
