Today 9News reported the shock of drivers who could only watch on in disbelief.A woman who tried to step in and break up the two fiery drivers was pushed away twice and risked being injured herself.
As swinging limbs and fists went flying the two men were relentless in their efforts to take one another to the ground.
The middle-aged men tumbled dangerously close to the median strip but got up continuing to have a go at one another.
Traffic begins to slow around them as drivers and nearby cafe-goers watch on in shock.
Witness Indiya Adam told 9News: 'Blocking the whole road because this car and had stopped and got out and was attacking him [sic]'.
'Looks like he's gone up the bum of the front car and got out all angry and then all of a sudden he's punching him and he's in the bush,'she said.
Terrified drivers watched from their cars as the witness called the incident 'horrible'.
The altercation only ended when other drivers pulled over and dragged the men apart.
