Police hunt duo over violent carjackings in south-east Queensland

The men have been on the run since Thursday afternoon.

Police have released images of two armed teenagers allegedly responsible for a stabbing and a carjacking rampage along the Queensland coast.

It is believed the men are back in the greater Brisbane region after a 24-hour crime spree between Brisbane and Maryborough.

Officers said two men first tried to steal a car parked in the driveway of a Sunnybank Hills home, south of Brisbane, about midday on Thursday.

When the female owner jumped inside her car to stop the theft, the offender jumped out and into a stolen white coupe, where an accomplice was waiting.

Police say a man at the home ran to the coupe and tried to take the keys but sustained stab wounds to his hand.

The offenders then drove off.

A police helicopter tracked the offenders as they travelled north, where they crashed a car in Maryborough before assaulting a 63-year-old man and stealing his vehicle.

The pair's latest offences were in the Fraser Coast region, where they allegedly stole a white sedan from an address in Dundowran Beach last night and before using it for a petrol drive-off at Kilkivan, west of Gympie at 6:30am on Friday.

The men are described as being in their late teens with short dark hair.

Police have warned anyone who sees the pair not to approach them, but instead call triple-0.
