Policeman hit by suspected stolen car remains critical as call is made for donations to help family

A Queensland policeman remains in a critical condition in a Brisbane hospital after he was hit by a suspected stolen car.

Pete McAulay, a 24-year-old constable from Goodna police station, has undergone surgery after suffering serious head injuries in the incident at Booval, west of Brisbane, on Thursday morning.

The officer was dragged several metres after being hit while laying stingers to stop a suspected stolen car.

Two teenagers, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, have both been charged with one count each of attempted murder and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

The constable was sworn into the Queensland Police Service in 2014.

Donations call to help family

The Queensland Police Service has thanked all those involved in the young officer's treatment.

QPU president Ian Leavers said he had been inundated with calls from across Australia wanting to support the 24-year-old.

"The Queensland Police Union has set up an account with Q-Bank where donations can be made and also at any Westpac branch," Mr Leavers said.

"All funds will go directly to Pete and his family, and to assist them in every which way."

As Constable McAulay's colleagues prepare to remember those killed in the line of duty at marches today for National Police Remembrance Day, Mr Leavers said the officer's injuries reflected the dangers police faced on the job everyday.
