Two teenagers who choked a taxi driver with wire before throwing him out of the taxi in northeast Queensland have been arrested, police say.
The men, aged 18 and 19, were travelling in the taxi in Aitkenvale last night when they allegedly placed a wire around the 62-year-old driver's neck and pulled him back into the headrest.
The driver was then pulled out of the car and thrown onto the road, before the pair fled in the taxi.
Police chased the car along Bruce Highway for a short time before it was stopped by a tyre deflation device.
The men face several charges, including armed robbery in company using personal violence.
