Police manhunt<\/p>\n
Police allege there was an altercation between the two men at the Maida Street address just after 7am last Friday and that they were known to each other.<\/p>\n
The alleged offender left the scene in a white utility with a woman before crashing it at Hamilton Creek near Mount Morgan, more than 80 kilometres away, just before 11am.<\/p>\n
Police allege the pair then abandoned the crashed ute before threatening another woman and taking her car.<\/p>\n
Officers intercepted that car near Gladstone, south of Rockhampton, before taking the 36-year-old man and the woman, 20, into custody.<\/p>\n
The woman was later released without charge.<\/p>\n
