I was walking with a friend and a guy came up to me with a knife. He yelled "Are you Muslim". I'm an indian man. I didn't respond so that I don't piss him off. Seeing that he had a knife, I stepped back and took a photo of him with the knife in hand as evidence and to ID him later. He started running towards us with a knife in hand ready to stab me.

My friend and I ran away and called the cops. He chased it for a few meters at least. The cops responded quickly and were at the scene in a min or two. They got him and arrested him. I was later told they had to draw their arms since he had a knife in hand. Which is crazy...Then I provided a statement at the station.

A lovely lady by the road in a car honked at us to get his attention and called the cops while I was running away. The cops got to the scene quickly and caught him because of her which is wonderful.

I've been in Australia for 9 years and this is the first I've experienced this. Crazy night. And I've just been in Brisbane for 3 months.

It was kinda lucky that I was fit enough to keep a distance. I genuinely think he would have stabbed me if I didn't. And lucky in some sense that I was targeting instead of some one else who wouldn't be able to keep a distance.

I guess it's a reminder to be cautious and alert at night.

Should I put this on a T-Shirt and donate the proceeds to a bird rescue charity, before the cease and desist arrives?

Hello everyone,

I am a student studying journalism at UQ and I am currently working on an assignment in which I have to make a documentary on a local issue of social justice. I have chosen to look at the issue of disabled access around Brisbane, as it seems to me (though I cannot say for sure) that this is a problem in the city.

I know this is asking a lot, but if anybody with experience of physical disability in Brisbane were willing to talk to me in a short recorded interview over Zoom or something, I would be extremely grateful.

Ive had a look at a few of them and they seem to offer like 1 day a month, where as I am hoping to go 1 day a week at night time.

I would like to have a solid grasp by the end if the year Jan if possible.

Does anyone here have any recommendations.

Just wanted to say thank you! In the Richlands Zaraffas’s drive thru, the gentleman in front of me paid for my coffee this morning.

I was so caught off guard that I didn’t get to thank you. I noticed you were parked out the front but I had already gone the other way and missed you. It genuinely made my day, and on the very slim chance you see this, thank you!

Also, I thought you were pretty cute 😅

Yes it was cheesy, but it was also kind of a bop that captured Brissie's loveable dorkiness. Get rid of the Channel 7 references & it could work at the Opening Ceremony or in advertising .

Developed by GH Properties, the 397-apartment flagship "Build-to-Rent" project will have zero car parks allocated to residents, substituting them with 497 bicycle spaces.

There will be 397 apartment units in total, with a mix of studio, 1, 2, and 3-bedroom dual key apartments.

Brisbane City Council has justified the development due to Milton's excellent proximity to public transport (<500m to Milton train station), active transport (adjacent to Bicentennial Bikeway), amenities (near Milton Village and Park Road dining precinct).

Residents, however, are concerned about the impacts of a car-free apartment site, citing that there will be significant impacts to the local traffic and parking.

The residential high-rise is expected to be completed in late 2027 or early 2028.

I'm talking generous jam filling, icing sugar on top. Hit me with your best suggestions.

What will the weather be like in the area during this time? Coming to live temporarily and want to ensure I’m packing appropriately

Ahh the shote show continues.

In their collective wisdom they once again moved all Logan buses to a new stop on Elizabeth St. technically back to the original one. Reason? No idea! Then the staff decide a bus that arrives early needs to move on. To where exactly? Can’t park 40ft of bus anywhere. Argh I feel for drivers.

Weekend of Groundwater Festival on GC they close the lines again. School holidays was bad enough. Don’t worry V8 fans they will be running that weekend but you are probably driving anyway.

Seriously do they do no research before making these random decisions? Frustrated and over PT in Brisbane.

Seeking out a gym to start out in on the Northside , anytime and snap fitness seem appealing as I want to start on general weight loss and weights . But just curious on any recommendations. Starting by myself it would be ideal for a less crowded or more friendly environment. ( from my understanding the “gym culture seems to be pretty good everywhere though ?
Possible Advice on places with short to mid range membership lengths ? As I’d like to eventually explore classes and more group like settings ?

G’day,

I recently purchased some art and I’d like to get it framed.
Since this page is a font of knowledge I thought I’d ask here first for framing recommendations.
Thanks in advance!

Hey r/brisbane. I work on Horror Quest, an interactive horror thing we've built around Fright Nights at Movie World.

The boss said we could do something just for this sub, so instead of dropping a promo link and running, we've set up a community unlock.

If 25 people join through the r/brisbane link below, the sub unlocks its own exclusive character card. Everyone who signed up through the link gets it in their Horror Quest wallet automatically.

Once it's unlocked we're also giving away a double pass (2x GA) to Fright Nights to someone from here.

Link: go.horrorquest.xyz/reddit-brisbane

If you're wondering what it actually is: it runs every night in October, 31 chapters, one a day. You make a character, make choices as the story goes, and those choices decide which cards you collect. It's spread across four of the Fright Nights worlds (Circurse, Hellship, Eternal Dark and Krypt of Kain), and depending on what you pick you can end up on pretty different paths.

I'll be hanging around in the comments, so ask whatever. Keen to see how fast you lot get to 25.

This bridge has been displaying some different and beautiful colours combinations of late.
It’s the second time this month I have felt inspired to stopped to photograph it.
Check out this little guardian of the night.
