Police are trying to find the owner of a motorbike who assaulted a 39-year-old man after he stole and crashed his Harley-Davidson.

Police say the man stole the bike at Greenwell Point near Nowra on the New South Wales south coast yesterday afternoon and was taking it for a ride around the township when he lost control of it.

Police say the accident caused the bike to cartwheel down the street, while the rider ended up in a garden bed with a stake embedded through his right arm and out of his back.

Police say the owner of the bike found the man a short time later and took his bike back, but not before punching him in the face and pulling the stake out of his torso.

Ambulance paramedics arrived shortly after to treat him.

He was then airlifted to Sydney's St George Hospital with a broken nose and internal injuries.

Kudos to the harley owner. A-hole deserved it. I am guessing the bike was not that badly damaged if he was able to take it back. I would have done the same for stealing my bike. Maybe kicked him a couple times to for wrecking it also.

AWESOME!

i remember watching a vid a few years ago from britain, a company there will basically pull an all night stakeout watching your bike, and when some lowly thief tries to steal it, they jump him, beat the living snot out of him, then give him a stern warning not to do it again. If anyone knows the vid i'm talking about, its a rippa!

Snap, talk about roadside justice... makes you wonder if the owner will get charged or if he'll just fade away into the mists. I'm hoping for the latter.

Killer video, to ;D

it was def in the not-so-grey area of the law.. these guys staked out in a van then attacked in balaclavas.. they'd drag the thief into the van and give him what-for....

talk about insurance adjustment.

i bet it fades....the crew in the southern hemisphere might be easy going, but they have a respect for DIY and vigilante justice. Cue Mad Max.
