A man accused of dousing himself and a house in petrol in an alleged domestic violence incident was tackled to the ground by quick-thinking cops before he could act, police say.
He was holding a cigarette lighter and threatening to create an inferno before the brave officers jumped into action on Sunday night at the Gold Coast home, Superintendent Geoff Sheldon explained.
During a press conference on anti-hooning activities, Supt. Sheldon revealed the acts of bravery by officers who attended the alleged domestic violence incident at O Reilly Drive, Coomera around 9.30pm on Anzac Day. He doused himself and the house in petrol while his partner and two adult children of that partnership, and one of their girlfriends, were inside the house, said Sheldon.
