On September 19 in Melbourne’s West Footscray, six men on motorbikes assaulted three victims in separate early-morning attacks, using weapons like a wrench, taser, and baton to steal motorcycles and a scooter.
A 40-year-old man was boxed in and robbed, a 32-year-old scooter rider was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and 27-year-old Emma from Wantirna South suffered a fractured rib, burns, bruising, and head swelling after resisting.
Police have released CCTV images of four suspects and are seeking dashcam footage, while residents express growing concerns over road safety.
