Leonard Toalei, 25, was arrested after a violent rampage on the Gold Coast about 2.30am (AEST) on Tuesday.
Police say he is a member of the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang.
Toalei remains in custody after his lawyer sought a delay on a charge of seriously assaulting a police officer.
He was not in court on Tuesday. Police expect more charges to be added when the case returns to the Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Officers claim Toalei fired two shots inside a taxi at Marine Parade, Southport, before embarking on a series of violent assaults.
They say he was in the back of the taxi with at least one other passenger when he opened fire.
The taxi driver was not hit and when he pulled his cab over the gunman fled and assaulted a milk truck driver, stealing his vehicle before crashing it.
It's alleged Toalei later assaulted a bus driver, who required hospital treatment for his injuries.
Police said they had to taser the suspect in a dangerous arrest in which he assaulted a police dog and its handler.
"The person was very violent, and it took a number of officers to try and restrain this person," Acting Inspector Greg Lewis told reporters.
Toalei was known to police after a standoff with officers on the Gold Coast last year.
Despite a string of incidents involving bikies on the Gold Coast, Queensland Police Minister Jack Dempsey said the state had the toughest anti-gang association laws in Australia, and he believed the government was doing enough to tackle gang-related violence.
