Carlton coach Michael Voss hailed hero after making citizen’s arrest of alleged car thief in Hawthorn
AFL coach Michael Voss has been involved in a citizen’s arrest after a terrifying incident on Tuesday.
The Age is reporting Carlton coach Michael Voss was at the Barton Milk Bar in Hawthorn getting coffee when he chased after a teenager in an allegedly stolen car that had flipped.
Voss, a Brownlow medallist known in his playing days with the Brisbane Lions as a hardened midfielder with an unflinching attack on the ball, reportedly tackled the teen and held him until police arrived.
The cafe confirmed Voss then went back to get his coffee.

“While he was waiting for his coffee at our local cafe in Hawthorn, a stolen car flipped onto the footpath just outside the cafe,” they said in comments published on Felgate’s Instagram account.
“Two guys got out of the car and fled the scene. Without hesitation, Vossy ran after them and performed a citizen’s arrest.”
The cafe owner Mr James Laskie said: “Michael Voss started chasing them, and so I chased after them as well.”
Mr Voss pinned one of the offenders to the ground while waiting for police to arrive but the other is thought to have escaped.
“They went into an apartment block, and it’s pretty hectic, and one of them got away, but he (Voss) grabbed the second guy and had him on the floor,” Mr Laskie said.
