Footage has emerged which shows the man using a pole to repeatedly attack his four-wheel-drive, which appears to have been painted green.
"He wasn't actually speaking or anything else, he was just listening to music, in the middle of the road," witness Phil Pinkstone told Channel 9 news.
The truck was later towed away.
