Attempted murder charge over frying pan attack

A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a man, attacking him with a frying pan and hitting him with his car in western Queensland.

Police said two men, aged 26 and 27, got into a fight on the side of the Barkly Highway at Mount Isa about 6pm (AEST) yesterday.

The 26-year-old man allegedly stabbed the other man, hit him with the pan and attempted to run him over with his car.

The victim, who knows his alleged attacker, was treated at Mount Isa Base Hospital and has since been released.

The 26-year-old Mount Isa man will appear at Mount Isa Magistrates Court tomorrow on a string of charges including attempted murder.
