None
BRISBANE -- A bystander dressed only in underpants helped police arrest an unlicensed driver who alleged crashed a car into an Australian takeout restaurant on Thursday then fled.
Daniel McConnell said he was lying in bed at home in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra at 2 a.m. when a car slammed into the front of a neighboring fish-and-chips shop, which had closed for the night.
"I've come outside and I've seen all of this commotion over here and I was in me jocks," McConnell told Australian Broadcast Corp., referring to his briefs.
McConnell said he saw the driver run away and gave chase.
"All I had was me undies on and he started to take off up the street and I said: 'What are you doing, mate?' and I started following him. He's like: 'Don't be a hero,'" McConnell said.
