A teenager is accused of injuring two police officers and almost crushing a man between two vehicles during an alleged rampage behind the wheel in Logan, south of Brisbane.
The 18-year-old on Sunday was interrupted while allegedly stealing tyres from a home, but both police and the people he’s accused of stealing from caught up to him a few streets away.
Officers dragged the alleged teenage driver from the black Ford before handcuffing him over the bonnet. Nine
Footage shows a car appearing to be used as a weapon, clipping a man, then ramming a police vehicle on a Yarrabilba street.
The victim didn’t want to be identified due to fears of being targeted again.
But he’s lucky to be alive after narrowly avoiding being crushed between the car and his own vehicle.
He alleged the teen “just put his foot down” and “drove the car at me”.
