'Quick-thinking driver': Carjacking victim held at knifepoint on Gold Coast
A 22-year-old woman turned the tables on a knife-wielding carjacker by driving her car into the side of a police station at high speed.
At around 10am the woman was returning to her vehicle which was parked inside the shopping centre car park at Robina Town Centre when a man jumped into the passenger side of her vehicle.
The attacker demanded she drive him to Southport and threatened her with a knife when she refused.
The 22-year-old then proceeded to drive off the M1 at speed until she crashed into a retaining wall of the Mudgeeraba Police Station.
The quick-thinking driver then grabbed her keys and ran inside the station to safety.
The man fled the vehicle on foot and was located a short time later by police hiding under a vehicle in nearby Meteor Court at Mudgeeraba.
Police located a knife in Milky Way, Mudgeeraba.
The woman was not physically injured during the incident.
A 30-year-old man has since been arrested over the alleged attack.
Police investigations continuing.
