Queensland family attacked with chainsaw, bitten following party noise complaint

A man has been attacked with an electric chainsaw and another bitten several times following an argument stemming from a loud party in Queensland. 

Police allege the initial altercation occurred after a father and son, aged 51 and 24, engaged with a 36-year-old man, believed to be their neighbour, in the family's front yard. 

During the argument it's alleged the 36-year-old man punched the 24-year-old man in the head and bit his arm, leg and stomach.

The 36-year-old man then proceeded to kick over and destroy the family's letterbox before leaving.

He then returned a short time later with an electric chainsaw which was used to attack the 51-year-old father. 

The father sustained injuries across his torso and to his upper arm and was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital. 

The 36-year-old man will appear in Redcliffe Magistrates Court today charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count each of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and wilful damage.
