Police have released video of a violent robbery in Sunnybank in the hope people may recognise a vehicle that was stolen during the incident.

Around 3.45am yesterday, five men approached two vehicles parked in a shopping centre off Mains Road.

Fearing for their safety, the four occupants of the vehicles gathered together into the Mitsubishi Magna as the group of men surrounded it.

A woman was dragged out of the vehicle and assaulted, and a window was smashed and a man repeatedly punched and kicked in the head.

CCTV footage shows the group withdrawing when two trucks enter the car park (at 3:42 and 3:43 respectively) and then return once they both pass.

It is likely that both drivers were completely unaware of the incident occurring.

One of the group took the keys to the other parked vehicle, a white 2012 Honda Civic with Queensland registration 312TOO, before stealing it.

The other men fled on foot towards the northern end of the car park.

Both the man and the woman were transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital for medical treatment.

Around 9am, detectives from the Upper Mount Gravatt Criminal Investigation Branch executed a search warrant at a Aldebaran Street address where they located and arrested a 22-year-old man allegedly involved in the incident.

He has been charged with two counts of robbery and one count each of unlawful entry of a vehicle, attempted robbery, common assault, wilful damage, robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle and is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.

Police are continuing to search for the other men believed to have been involved in the incident.

They are described as African in appearance with one wearing a white shirt, another wearing a red shirt or jacket, one was shirtless and another was wearing red shoes.

Police are also still appealing for anyone who may have seen the stolen car to call Policelink on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

In addition, investigators would like to speak with any potential witnesses, including the drivers of the two trucks that were in the car park at the time of the incident.
