A car dealer has been filmed helping police tackle an alleged drugged carjacker in Moreton Bay, Queensland.
A 23-year-old man entered Bremen Motors in Margate allegedly carrying bags of methamphetamine (ice) and marijuana last week, Nine News reports.
The man asked car salesman Pablo Ruiz to take him on a test-drive in a $30,000 BMW.
As soon as the pair returned to the store the man reportedly ordered the South American salesman to get out of the car or he would kill him.
Ruiz refused and wrestled the keys from the man’s hands while waiting for police, Nine News says.
Video filmed 20 minutes later showed police officers and Ruiz tackling the man to the ground.
Police have charged him with a variety of offences, including possessing dangerous drugs, possessing a utensil, obstructing police and assault. He is due in court on July 19.
