A Comanchero bikie associate is behind bars after he allegedly threatened a man with a knife before punching him in the face in a vicious road rage incident.
The 24-year-old man was arrested on Thursday following a four-month investigation into the alleged attack in Beverly Hills, in Sydney’s south-west, on October 25.
He is accused of stopping his car in traffic on busy King Georges Road, walking up to an unknown man with a knife and allegedly brazenly assaulting him.

His vehicle’s registered address was tracked down by an elite militarised police unit, which tackles violent bikie gangs, who found it was allegedly changed twice in one day in September.
The man allegedly changed the address to a false rural one, and back again, as part of a short price premium fraud.
Police arrested the bikie associate in Mt Druitt, in Sydney’s west, about 6am Thursday.
A search warrant was then executed at a nearby home where knives, documents, a mobile and amphetamines were seized.
The man was charged with a range of armed road rage offences, as well as possessing an unauthorised pistol and dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception.
He was remanded to appear in Mt Druitt Local Court on Friday, where he was formally refused bail.
He will reappear in the same court on Wednesday 21 March.
The man’s arrest is the latest in a string of incidents involving past and present Comanchero associates to make headlines this year – including the murder of the gang’s former boss Mick Hawi (pictured with his wife) on February 15
Mick Hawi’s death was followed by high-profile member Robert Ale (pictured), 35, being shot nine times during an attempted execution at Nitro Ink in Melbourne’s south-east last week
