‘He put the arrow in the bow and he sort of aimed it and ran across sort of behind my car to shoot it at the car that was coming back in the opposite direction,’ Ms Bertram told Neil Mitchell.
‘I threw my phone down because I was afraid that he would see me.’
The concerned bystander contacted police and returned to the area about 10 minutes later to find detectives and the dog squad scoping the scene.
‘There was another lady there later and she said she saw the man shoot the bow at the car,’ she recalled.
