Cars smash into house, drivers start brawling.

Car rams another car into a house, drivers get out of car and start brawling using household tools as the home residents jump into the fray. Or as I like to call it, just another day in Australia.

A WITNESS in an armed robbery and shooting trial allegedly rammed the vehicle of another witness, forcing it to plough into a nearby home before the two drivers fought each other with a hammer and a wrench.

[...] Police received a call just after 10am from distressed Edgeworth resident Ann Beattie, who said a 4WD had landed in her loungeroom and a second car on her lawn. She told police the drivers of both vehicles were fighting on her front lawn, armed with metal implements.

[...] With cuts to her legs from the flying glass, Mrs Beattie stood frightened in her kitchen, horrified by what happened next. "One of the blokes came in here and started going through the drawers for a knife," she said. "I told him to get out or I'd sort him out."

Her husband Jack, who heard the drama unfolding from the backyard, said he then found the drivers of both cars fighting on his front door step.

Mr Beattie said one man was armed with a wrench, the other with a hammer he is believed to have taken from the Beatties' shed. "I had to get between them and break them up," Mr Beattie said, shaking from shock.
