These Men Had Already Carjacked Four Vehicles. Insane Video Shows What They Did When Police Road Spikes Brought Them to a Stop.
February 10, 2015
No, it's not footage from the upcoming Mad Max reboot.
The video below shows real-life, pre-apocalyptic insanity in Australia.
Police have released helicopter video recorded during a massive Wednesday car chase that wound through Queensland and New South Wales as a pair of armed men conducted carjacking after carjacking, the Brisbane Courier-Mail reported.
After reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour and carjacking a series of four different vehicles, the men were brought to a halt when they hit police road spikes.
But instead of surrendering, video shows the pair piling out — and opening fire on police.
The men then dash into traffic, running down the middle of the busy highway as they attempt to jack yet another car.
But the men both appear to be struck by the various cars they attempt to commandeer — video captures the moment one of them is mowed down.
The pair of carjackers, ages 32 and 20, were arrested, and the drivers involved escaped any serious injuries and no police were hit by the carjackers' shots, New.com.au reported.

At least one of the carjackers had a "return to prison" warrant, the Courier-Mail reported.
