Unarmed robbery, Kippa Ring
Police are investigating after a man was injured when someone tried to steal his car in Kippa Ring this morning.
Around 7.15am, a 42-year-old man was transferring property between two vehicles in the driveway of a Euston Street home before he went inside briefly.
He returned outside to find a man sitting in the driver’s seat of one of the cars.
The car’s owner opened the door to try and stop the other man from driving away, but was knocked to the ground.
The open door struck a brick mailbox as it reversed, causing significant damage to the vehicle.
The car came to a stop in the middle of the road and the driver fled the scene on foot through a park towards Fleet Drive.
The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, of a slim build and around 175 centimetres tall.
He was wearing black hooded jumper and dark coloured jeans.
A 42-year-old Kippa Ring man was transported to Redcliffe Hospital for the treatment of a laceration to his head and grazing his leg.
