A heavily tattooed Australian was drunk and violent when he hijacked an SUV and struck two people in a late-night joyride, Balinese police allege.
The man, identified by local police only as WRJ, allegedly stole the Toyota Avanza outside a hotel in Seminyak about 1.30am on Sunday.
The Australian is alleged to have stolen the vehicle from a security guard who parked it outside hotel Eden the Residence at the Sea.
Chief of the North Kuta Police, Pasek Sudina, revealed fresh details of the Australian's alleged joyride, before the car was found torched later in the morning.
The Australian, allegedly intoxicated, had been acting aggressively in the lead-up to the alleged carjacking, he claimed.
