A CARJACKER is being hunted after threatening two drivers and leaving one car in flames.

She jumped out of the car so the carjacker took the wheel, but he soon collided with two poles and a boom gate at Lightwood and Corrigan roads.

The carjacker then stopped another driver, a 31-year-old man in a blue Toyota RAV4, and forced him to drive to Heatherton and Chandler roads.
He got out of the car at a Woolworths petrol station and fled on foot.
Sen Const Alp said there were no weapons involved and that the CFA extinguished the car fire.
