Anthony Littler: Disturbing moment tradie launches tirade of racial abuse at a black man in road rage meltdown: ‘I’m going to hunt you down like a dog’
A foul-mouthed tradie has been captured on video unleashing a vile tirade of racial abuse at a black motorist during a road rage meltdown.
The disturbing incident unfolded on the side of the road in Melton West, on Melbourne’s outskirts on September 5, leaving the victim fearing for his safety.
Anthony Littler, 62, is alleged to be the man in the video and has been charged with a string of offences including reckless conduct endangering serious injury and using abusive or indecent language, criminal damage and driving in a dangerous manner.
‘I’m gonna find where you live and I’m gonna hunt you down like a dog!’ Littler appears to shout.
‘You f***ing black f***!’
JP (pictured), who became an Australian citizen two years ago, said he had ‘never experienced anything like that’
The target of the abuse, who wished to be identified only by his initials JP, claimed he was driving home north-west of Melbourne when the trouble began.
JP, a former prison officer, alleged a man in a white Mazda ute began to tail him, before matters came to head when the pair pulled over.
Footage taken by JP, and shown on A Current Affair, shows Littler allegedly driving into his car and damaging it.
At another point Littler is seen standing outside of his car, wearing work clothes, and hurling abuse at two women who tried to calm the situation down.
As two women in another car try to speak up, telling him to ‘stop it’, Littler tells them ‘don’t get involved love, I know where you live’.
JP, who became an Australian citizen two years ago, said he had ‘never experienced anything like that’.
‘It definitely hurts. I only ever see it on TV, in America.
‘It doesn’t take much to be nice to people, regardless of their skin colour or where they are from.’
Littler is due to face Sunshine Magistrates Court on February 14.
