An elderly pedestrian has allegedly been beaten to death with a metal pole in a random rampage that injured two others and shocked a regional community.
Richard Zoltan Babos, 36, has been charged with a string of offences including murder after bystanders stepped in and finally ended his alleged crime spree north of Brisbane.
Babos is accused of fatally striking a 78-year-old man during a number of random attacks spanning barely an hour near Bundaberg that left two others in the hospital.
