Passenger Ash Massacre filmed the encounter in Deception Bay, a coastal suburb in the Moreton Bay Region, on Monday, The Sun reported. After trying the front door, the armed man tries the rear passenger side door and taps on the window to be let in while waving the machete about. The car jacker grins at the person filming him throughout the ordeal. When he can't get into the car the man walks off down the road with the weapon still in his hand. Ash said they were unable to drive off as they were surrounded by other vehicles. In Another video she described the incident as "absolutely terrifying". "I didn’t know what to do. I was stuck in shock. “We had stopped at the lights and basically I could see some dude walking through it and I was like ‘What’s he doing?’ “And my husband‘s like, ‘Oh, he’s walking around with a machete’ and he was, like, swinging it around. “So I started recording because I thought it’s weird and my sisters would never believe that.” Police arrested a 21-year-old man at the scene and he has since been charged with threatening violence, unlawful entry of motor vehicles and obstructing police. The man is due to appear in court in December.
