Police have arrested and placed charges after a Narre Warren man was assaulted by a Wattle Glen man in a road rage incident in Watsonia last month.
Following the incident on Friday, 14 February, it is believed the 32-year-old Narre Warren man in a grey Holden 4WD was travelling along Grimshaw Street when he collided with a Holden hatchback around 3:20pm.
The driver of the hatchback, a 41-year-old Wattle Glen man, then got out of his car and allegedly assaulted the male victim before smashing the victim’s car window with an axe.
He has since been charged with driving while suspended, careless driving, interfering with a motor vehicle, reckless cause of injury and reckless conduct endangering serious injury.
Additionally, he was also charged with assault with a weapon, criminal damage, the use of a controlled weapon with excuse, and nine times with the possession of a drug of dependence.
The offender fled the area, heading into an unknown direction of travel.
He was remanded to appear at Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court today, on 5 March.
