Helen Haines: Bystander says he had 'no choice' but to tackle driver who struck Australian MP with car – BBC
A bystander tackled the driver who struck Australian MP Helen Haines with a car, saying he had “no choice.” The incident, described by the Prime Minister as “no accident,” critically injured the independent lawmaker. Brendan Nugent was named as the driver apprehended. The attack follows rising threats against Australian politicians, with one source calling it “our worst nightmare.” A hero barber who intervened during the alleged attack has been hailed. Authorities are treating the case as a deliberate assault rather than a traffic incident.
