Police have charged two men after three police cars were damaged at a large “out-of-control” weekend hooning event at Logan, south of Brisbane.

Sydney rapper Spanian also attended the event, posting on his official Instagram page he was “turning hoods in rock concerts” while surrounded by a large cheering crowd.

He later posted a video pointing to news coverage of the police cars being damaged by several men during the event.

The Queensland Police Service said officers responded to an out-of-control event on Bourke Street, Waterford about 2pm on Saturday.

“Approximately 350 people attended the area, with some vehicles committing traffic related offences and driving in a dangerous manner,” they said.

“Multiple crews attended the location and declared an out-of-control event and blocked off the street.”

Three police cars were damaged as a result of the event.

The QPS said the officers in the cars were not physically injured.

Police said from officers surrounding districts and specialist police had the event under control about 4pm.

The arrests followed a public appeal from police and investigators releasing images and footage of several men they wanted to speak to about the incident.

Police executed a search warrant on Sunday and arrested a man, 20, at a property at Moffat Road, Waterford.

He has been charged with one count each of wilful damage of police property, commit public nuisance, enter premises with intent to commit indictable offence (entering occupied police vehicle) and participate in hoon event, the QPS said in a statement.

He will face Beenleigh Magistrates Courts on April 3.

A second man, 18, was arrested in a second raid on Sunday at a property at Merino Street, Park Ridge.

He has been charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, participating in a group activity for racing, burn out or other hooning offences, and evasion offence.

He is due to appear at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on April 22.

Police also continue to appeal for information to identify other people who may be able to assist with their inquiries. Investigations are ongoing.
