Qld woman fights bandit with air freshener

A central Queensland woman has fought away an armed robber with air freshener.

Police are searching for a crowbar-wielding robber who was foiled with air freshener in central Queensland.

The man broke into a Gladstone unit early on Sunday morning and demanded property from a man, 23, and woman, 17.

He attacked the man with the crowbar, leaving him with leg injuries, before the woman sprayed him in the eyes with air freshener, which prompted him to flee.
