Ipswich: Two officers are shot during a police chase in Brisbane
Two police officers have been injured, one with a serious cut to his arm, after a passenger emerged from a car they stopped with a knife in south-west Queensland.
The police helicopter followed the car through several south Brisbane suburbs before tire inflators were used to stop the car on Boundary Road at the intersection of Antimony Street in Carole Park just after 1am on Sunday.
It is alleged police were approaching the car when a passenger emerged with a knife and slashed a South Brisbane District Senior Constable across the arm.
