Woman picking up takeaway dragged hundreds of metres after alleged Brisbane carjacking

The alleged carjacking took place across the road from the PA Hospital.

An 18-year-old man accused of a violent carjacking which seriously injured a woman in Brisbane overnight has been remanded in custody.

Police said the 22-year-old woman and a man had parked at the Buranda Shopping Centre at Woolloongabba around 7:00pm on Monday to pick up a food order.

While the woman waited in the passenger seat of the car, with the engine still running, Theo Fewquandie allegedly jumped into the driver's side, police said.

It is alleged the teenager pushed the woman from the moving car as he sped off erratically, which caused her to be dragged for "several hundred metres".

The woman suffered serious injuries and was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.

Mr Fewquandie was arrested by police after the car crashed into a brick wall outside a nearby church.

He was charged with several offences, including deprivation of liberty and dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm.

His matter was mentioned briefly in the Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning and was adjourned until March.

Mr Fewquandie did not appear and his lawyer did not make an application for bail.

Detectives are urging witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the car park to contact them.
