Carlton Blues coach and Queensland AFL legend, Michael Voss has left the people of Victoria in a state of awe this week – after the 49-year-old went ‘full Brissy’ on a couple of juvenile delinquents yesterday.
Vossy was captured on film performing a citizen’s arrest on a young offender after witnessing him allegedly flipping a stolen Mercedes on its roof, in dramatic scenes that had interrupted his morning coffee in Melbourne’s inner-east on Tuesday morning.
According to witnesses at the scene, it is by chance that this incident didn’t result in tragedy, as the Mercedes CLA lost control and rolled before it landed on its side on a footpath on Barton Street just before 9:00 am near West Hawthorn Primary School.
As one of the few products of Queensland’s AFL and one of the rare heroes of the Victorian game in his home state, Vossy may be the only AFL figure capable of such valour.
It is reported that onlookers could not believe their eyes, as the Beenleigh Boy ran directly at the overturn car and tackled what could have easily been an armed assailant.
After close to half an hour of grappling, the poilce arrived at the scene and took over.
Vossy is believed to have walked back inside the cafe, ordered two large takeaway coffees and began talking his weights training program with the barista.
