Two men are facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, after allegedly firing shots in central Brisbane before fleeing and setting a car on fire in dramatic scenes captured by a Queensland Police helicopter.
Queensland police are searching for a third suspect, a 22-year-old man from Goodna, in relation to the alleged attack that unfolded around 11pm on Saturday night.
Police allege three men in a car approached a man known to them in Mary Street in the city centre before firing two shots from an unspecified weapon.
"What we do know from the investigation is that it was a very targeted attack on one individual ... at this stage the reason for the attack, we don't know," Detective Acting Inspector Michael Hogan said.
The man and two women suffered non-life threatening injuries, Det. Acting Inspector Hogan said. The women aren't believed to be connected to the incident, he added.
The alleged offenders then fled the scene and drove to Darra in the city's south-west, where they allegedly set fire to the vehicle just after midnight, police said.
Video released by Polair shows a car driving away at high speed before cutting to images of people running away as police cars close in.
The video shows a suspect appearing to pause, then putting up his hands and lying face down on the ground as police officers move in to arrest him.
Other black and white video shows what appears to be a large fire glowing under a bridge filmed from the police helicopter.
Two men – a 19-year-old man from Redbank Plains and a 20-year-old man from Goodna – have been charged with four counts of attempted murder and a slew of other charges.
Each man is facing 30 charges in total including wounding, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of weapons, discharge of a weapon in a public place and arson.
They're due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.
Police have asked for public help to locate the third suspect.
