A Dunedin man armed with a metal scaffolding pole went on a rampage against his colleagues after being told he could not drive a work car, police say.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said police were called to Howe St, north Dunedin, at noon on Friday after a man started to assault his co-workers.
The 21-year-old was told by his workplace he was not allowed to drive the work car, causing him to become "enraged".
He then started to assault his co-workers, who were inside a scaffolding truck, grabbing a large metal pole to use as a weapon.
He whacked one of his colleagues and smashed two windows of the vehicle.
Police attended and he was arrested.
The man also had a warrant for his arrest, Snr Sgt Bond said. — APL
