Lunch punch

A MAN eating lunch in his car suffered cuts and a black eye during an attempted carjacking in Keysborough.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Jason Owen said two men and a woman approached the 64-year-old Springvale South man in the Parkmore Shopping Centre car park about 12.30pm on Monday 22 February.
They demanded his keys and punched him in the face through his open window when he refused.
The would-be thieves got into a white Nissan Skyline, in which another man was waiting, and fled the scene.
Sgt Owen said they were described as Caucasian and aged in their teens.
He urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
The victim was treated at Dandenong Hospital.
