A couple have been the victims of a terrifying carjacking at Cooks Hill.
They were travelling down Darby Street in their Mercedes at about 7.00pm on Monday night when an object was thrown at the car.
The male driver pulled over and chased the alleged culprit, a 32-year-old man, who police say dropped handbags he'd earlier stolen during a break-in.
The victim stopped to pick up the property before returning to his car to find the offender had dragged his partner from the drivers seat and driven off.
He was later identified by police and arrested in the vicinity of Darby Street and is due to face court today.
The car was a recovered in nearby Bruce Street.
