The man was arrested on Friday following an investigation into the alleged incident, which occurred in a shopping centre carpark on Monday morning.

She suffered multiple injuries, while the man fled in the vehicle.
Following his arrest, the 48-year-old was charged with a string of offences including stealing a motor vehicle and driving while disqualified.
