The driver, from Goulburn, was treated in hospital and has now been released.
Police alleged the 26-year-old man then ran towards a service station in Clinton Street where he allegedly threatened a 17-year-old driver with a knife, demanding his car keys.
The youth handed over his car keys and escaped without injury.

He was taken to Goulburn Base Hospital for assessment before being released back into the custody of police last night.
The man, from Tallong, has now been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rob, one count of robbery, and one count of enter inclosed lands.
He was bail refused to appear in Goulburn Local Court on Tuesday 11 July 2018.
