Police are seeking a man over an alleged attempted carjacking in which a bullet was fired through a windscreen in Doveton on 8 July.
A driver in a stolen white Toyota C-HR SUV tailgated a 22-year-old Doveton man in a white 2012 Volkswagen Passat on Princes Highway about 1am, police say.
The SUV pulled in front of the Passat, forcing its driver to stop on Power Road.

The bullet missed the man, who was not physically injured.
The SUV was later found burnt out in Harkaway.
