A 'rampaging driver' who allegedly stole seven vehicles during a nine-hour crime spree was finally brought down by Queensland police, with the dramatic arrest captured on video.
The 27-year-old man is facing 35 charges over the terrifying ordeal which began near Rockhampton in Central Queensland and finished on the outskirts of Emerald, 350km away.
Police tried multiple times to stop the man who had allegedly bashed a pensioner and held others against their will.
Dramatic footage shows the man being wrestled to the ground by officers after police deployed road spikes for a second time to disable the vehicle he was driving.
