Barely dressed Aussie man has a chainsaw-waving meltdown outside Bunnings

  • 21/07/2018

An Australian man has been arrested after going on a bizarre rant outside a Perth Bunnings.

The 27-year-old is believed to have shopped for some time in the Bunnings, before tipping all his items on the ground and removing his clothing when he got to the counter, 7 News reports.

As onlookers gathered he jumped in his car and drove on the wrong side of the road before crashing into a fence.

He then took to the car with a golf club and began throwing his belongings out of the vehicle while screaming "pterodactyl, pterodactyl eyes".

But things quickly got dangerous when he pulled out a chainsaw and started it up.

"When he managed to turn the chainsaw on, everyone just took a step back," witness Feraidun Hakimi told 7 News.

"It was pretty like scary… it was weird, unusual behaviour, you don't see it every day."

Police arrived on the scene within minutes and took the man to hospital for evaluation. He is now facing drug and traffic charges.

His mother saw the footage and said he was a good person, but he needed help.

"[He's] not violent but anything could happen in the state he's in," she said. "He's a lethal weapon and it's scary."
