A man has been arrested after a motorist was hurt when a car was snatched at a Birmingham petrol station.
The male victim was putting air into the Vauxhall's tyres when he was subjected to a violent carjacking at the garage, in Chester Road, in Tyburn, on November 14.
Detectives investigating the incident have now arrested the 39-year-old suspect at an address in the Marston Green area of the city.

The vehicle was recovered a short time later.
The victim, aged in his 40s, was taken to hospital and has since been discharged to continue his recovery at home.
