Man thrown through fence in Doveton hit-run

A man has been deliberately struck in a hit-run in Doveton on Sunday 21 July, police say.

A black Holden station wagon and a white Holden ute had been allegedly involved in hooning in the Tristana Street area about 11am.

The 42-year-old Doveton victim approached the station-wagon driver, who got out and assaulted him, police say.

The driver then got back into the vehicle and deliberately drove at the man.

The victim was rolled onto the bonnet and thrown through a nearby timber fence, landing in a front yard.

He did not require medical treatment.

The two males in the Holdens drove off toward Paperbark Street.

At this stage, they and the vehicles have not been located, police say.

Any information or dashcam/CCTV footage to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
