Hero one minute, robbed by Australian boy the next

Xinhua, August 5, 2015 Adjust font size:

A 15-year-old Australian boy has been charged with stealing the car of a good samaritan who came to the aid of four Queensland teenagers who had earlier crashed a stolen car.

Authorities allege the teen was driving the stolen car with three male friends when it crashed on a small country road west of Brisbane.

When a man stopped to help the group, the 15-year-old allegedly threatened him with a replica gun and stole his car.

The three passengers were left behind and taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Authorities arrested the 15-year-old alleged thief late on Tuesday night following an extensive police operation. Endi
