He allegedly got out, opened a rear door and attempted to drag his daughter from the vehicle.

During the incident, the man was dragged a short distance by the vehicle before getting back in and driving away.

Police arrested him at his Amaroo home later that day and charged him with aggravated common assault. He appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on October 22.
