Jeremy Sherlock, a Wamuran local, told Nine News the victim had previously threatened him with violence.
‘He come over here with a steel bar once – at 4.30pm on Saturday afternoon, you know – going off, saying turn the music down and that,’ he said.
‘I’ve heard him in the past abusing and yelling at his missus a lot – a lot of confrontation there.’
The woman will appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday.
