AN AUSTRALIAN radio station has broadcast an attempted carjacking live on air.

The unbelievable moment was captured on 612 ABC Brisbane this week.

A woman had phoned into the David Curnow Evenings on Monday just after 9.30pm to discuss her hair pin collection, the ABC reported.

In the broadcast you can hear the woman discussing her collection when she is interrupted by two men yelling and swearing.

Host David Curnow quickly put the call on hold, unsure of what had just taken place.

He told the ABC he later learned the woman had been sitting her car with her husband at the Salisbur SES depot waiting for their son to finish training session.

He said what he heard turned out to be a man allegedly trying to get into their car.

However they managed to scare the man off.

“We were worried for her but also not sure what had happened. We chased her up. I didn’t really know what was going on,” Mr Curnow told the ABC.

“It just came out of nowhere ... it just suddenly cut in, she stopped talking ... I thought I was getting a crossed line.

“I put it on hold and told the producer to check to see if she was OK.

“She said she was shaken up and that she’s called police.”
