Victim of terrifying Brisbane carjacking speaks out as police hunt attackers
The victim of a carjacking in Brisbane last night has recounted the terrifying ordeal.
Police are hunting the attackers, who are also behind a separate stabbing.
Saurav Raul said he was reversing his red Toyota Yaris out of his driveway in Paragon Street, Yeronga after 10pm when he was assaulted.
He said a group of men dragged him from his car and punched him in the head before stealing his vehicle.
"So they start beating me and I tell them, 'Take everything, just leave us'. But they didn't stop, they just kept punching me in my face and they kicked her in her neck," Mr Raul told 9News exclusively, pointing to an unidentified woman off camera.
The stolen vehicle is described as a red 2006 Toyota Yaris with Queensland registration 180-WVP.
Just minutes before, the same group of men stabbed a man in the neck at a 7-Eleven nearby, police said.
The group confronted a Mercedes driver at a petrol station in Fairfield Road about 10.15pm.
Police said the attackers demanded the man's keys before cutting his neck with a knife during a fight.
Members of the public stepped in and the group fled on foot.
Shocking footage shows the attackers grab the man by the neck before his terrified partner runs inside for help.
7-Eleven attendant Harsh Kuruntel told 9News: "He got stabbed. They hit him with a knife so he had blood all over. That's why we brought out a first aid kit afterwards."
The men are described as African and being aged in their mid-20s.
Investigators are hunting the alleged attackers and are appealing for anyone with information or dash cam vision from the Yeronga area – particularly around Fairfield Road, Nelson Street and Stephens Street between 10pm and 11pm last night - to contact police.
