Man caught after epic bid to flee Qld cops

An alleged carjacker has been stopped in his tracks after a 160km bid to outrun police in central Queensland.

Officers used tyre spikes to stop the man in a car he had allegedly stolen from another man in Emerald on Sunday.

The car hit a guard rail before coming to a stop near Duaringa, about 160km from where he took off.

The 28-year-old will face the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Monday charged with armed robbery, assault, breaching his bail conditions and dangerous driving.
