Two men held after carjacks

A woman was thrown to the ground and a courier driver had his head slammed in a door in two separate carjackings in Auckland yesterday.

A woman walking towards her car in Howick was grabbed by a man and thrown to the ground. The attacker drove off in her car but crashed and was later arrested.

A courier driver was assaulted while trying to get into his van in Penrose. A friend of the driver followed the stolen van to a supermarket carpark, while contacting the police. A man has been arrested. Both incidents happened about 1pm.
