Two men have been arrested and charged with carjacking an Uber driver in Brisbane.

The two men allegedly called the driver to a backstreet of Fortitude Valley around 8pm on Saturday, before pulling the 29-year-old from the car, assaulting him with a spanner and driving off in his car.

Police allegedly tracked the pair to the Logan suburb of Tanah Merah where they arrested them.

The pair, aged 29 and 25, have been charged with multiple offences including armed robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle, and are due to face Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday.

In a statement, Uber said the safety of their drivers is a top priority.

"There is no place for violent attacks in our community and our thoughts are with the driver-partner at this time," an Uber spokesman said.
