Highway pursuit ends with ‘traumatic' dog bites for man
A dramatic chase has ended with a man accused of throwing a tyre from a moving vehicle into heavy traffic being hospitalised with 'traumatic' police dog bites. Adam James Rae Slade, 26, was unable to appear in court on Thursday after being arrested with the aid of police dog Stryker following a pursuit through several suburbs north of Brisbane. Slade and Tyger Jack Titmarsh, 26, face potential life sentences after being accused of endangering traffic on a major highway before their dramatic arrest. Police were called to the Bruce Highway at 1.20pm on Wednesday at Murrumba Downs, north of Brisbane, following reports of shots being fired from a vehicle. A black Commodore evaded attending officers and rejoined the highway heading north while being tracked by a police helicopter, the court was told. Police deployed a tyre deflation device and the Commodore's two occupants allegedly dumped the vehicle on a rural road at Armstrong Creek, several suburbs to the north-west, before being arrested with the aid of Stryker. Titmarsh and Slade were charged with numerous dangerous driving, obstructing police, stolen property and motor vehicle theft offences. No current charges relate to firearms.

Police were called to the Bruce Highway at 1.20pm on Wednesday at Murrumba Downs, north of Brisbane, following reports of shots being fired from a vehicle. A black Commodore evaded attending officers and rejoined the highway heading north while being tracked by a police helicopter, the court was told. Police deployed a tyre deflation device and the Commodore's two occupants allegedly dumped the vehicle on a rural road at Armstrong Creek, several suburbs to the northwest, before being arrested with the aid of Stryker. Titmarsh and Slade were charged with numerous dangerous driving, obstructing police, stolen property and motor vehicle theft offences. No current charges relate to firearms. They were due to face Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Thursday. Acting magistrate David Shepherd heard Slade was unable to appear in court due to suffering dog bites that required surgery. "There's a note here that he's currently in the Royal Brisbane Hospital," Mr Shepherd said. Titmarsh's solicitor said the most serious charge alleged against his client was endangering the safe use of vehicles and related transport infrastructure, which carried a maximum penalty of life imprisonment if convicted. Police allege Titmarsh and Slade created the danger by throwing a tyre and letting off a fire extinguisher from a moving vehicle and into heavy traffic. Titmarsh was additionally charged with unlicensed driving and driving while intoxicated. Titmarsh and Slade are accused of stealing the Commodore allegedly involved in the pursuit and possessing a bank card and iPad tablet computer that were suspected stolen. Mr Shepherd adjourned Titmarsh's case for a committal mention on September 18 and ordered police provide his solicitor with a brief of evidence by September 3. The prosecutor told Mr Shepherd that Slade had been through "quite a traumatic event" and might not be able to attend court until next week. "I don't want to adjourn it for that long without giving him the opportunity to appear in court," Mr Shepherd said. Slade's case was adjourned to Friday. Titmarsh's solicitor did not make an application for bail and both defendants were remanded in custody.

Dramatic vision and wild details emerge from Bruce Highway shooter chase
Vision has been released of a dramatic chase along a major highway after two men allegedly opened fire on a tradie's ute, hurled objects at traffic, and fled on foot before being mauled by a police dog. The footage shows the black Holden Commodore speeding through suburban streets and on major highways, weaving through traffic as PolAir tracked the vehicle from above. The police pursuit began after reports of gunfire on the Bruce Hwy near Murrumba Downs — just outside Brisbane — about 1.20pm on Wednesday. Queensland Police allege Adam James Rae Slade, 26, from South Brisbane, and Tyger Jack Titmarsh, 26, from Rockhampton, fired shots at a 31-year-old concreter's ute on the highway. 'They were tailgating me; they would have been centimetres from the rear tray of my ute,' the 31-year-old tradie told 7NEWS. 'I saw the barrel come out and then bang.' The Commodore allegedly sped off, sparking a dramatic hour-long pursuit through multiple suburbs before its tyres were spiked at Mount Samson. The chase stretched 40km before the car was dumped on Watson Rd at Armstrong Creek, where the two men fled on foot before police dog Stryker tracked them down, police said. Both were bitten during the arrest. Slade remains in the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital under police guard, where he is recovering from his injuries. The gun has not been found despite a thorough search of the Commodore, police said. Slade is facing seven charges, including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation, drug possession, and endangering the safe use of a road after allegedly hurling a tyre and a fire extinguisher into traffic. Titmarsh also faces seven charges, among them driving while suspended, dangerous operation while intoxicated, failing to stop, and the same allegation of throwing a tyre and fire extinguisher onto the highway. Neither man appeared before Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Wednesday. Titmarsh's case was adjourned to September 18 with no appearance required. Slade will face court once released from hospital.
