A 31-year-old man is accused of taking a black Toyota Yaris from a business on Logan Road in Eight Mile Plains around 11 p.m. on Thursday. The vehicle was later involved in a crash on MacDonald Street in Kangaroo Point by 3 p.m. the following day.
According to police reports, the suspect then allegedly targeted a red Toyota Corolla on Main Street nearby. He is said to have forcibly removed a 43-year-old woman from Mango Hill from the vehicle and fled the scene at approximately 3:10 p.m.
Witnesses reported seeing the Corolla driving erratically on the Story Bridge shortly after. The vehicle collided with several cars before overturning.
The suspect was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with minor injuries resulting from the crash.
He now faces multiple charges, including two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle, driving without a license, dangerous operation of a vehicle while under the influence, and a single count of armed robbery involving personal violence.
He is expected to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
