A man got into the 52-year-old victim's car on Duffield Road in Margate, in Moreton Bay, about 11am on Wednesday and allegedly indecently assaulted her.
Police said a passer-by spotted what was happening and yelled at the attacker which led to him fleeing the scene on foot.
Officers patrolling the area arrested a man after finding him on Duffield Road about 30 minutes after the incident.
The victim suffered bruising and scratches but did not need further treatment.
Police said the victim and her alleged attacker did not know each other.
A 34-year-old man, from the nearby suburb of Kippa-Ring, was charged with a string of offences including committing an indecent act, common assault, assault occasioning bodily harm, entering premises and commit an indictable offence as well as obstructing police.
He was due to appear in Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Thursday.
