A 30-year-old Narre Warren man has been arrested after multiple alleged assaults near the Westfield Fountain Gate shopping centre bus stops in Overland Drive on Tuesday 5 November.

Police have charged the man after it is alleged he physically assaulted three people near the bus stops around 2:25pm.

Previous reports of the offender using a box cutter have been recanted, with police confirming that he used no weapons and physical force was used to inflict injuries.

The man allegedly fled the scene before police arrested him inside the shopping centre shortly after.

One woman and two men were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Narre Warren man has since been charged with affray, reckless cause of injury, unlawful assault and possessing a controlled weapon.

He was bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrate’s Court on 14 February 2025.
