A Dandenong man who allegedly held up a driver in Springvale has been arrested after a police pursuit.
The 22-year-old, while driving a stolen grey Holden Captiva, forced a silver Mercedes Benz sedan off Springvale Road just before midnight on Wednesday 20 July, police say.

The driver dumped the vehicle in Chandler Road, Noble Park, and was arrested by Dandenong Divisional Response Unit officers.
He was charged with armed robbery, threats to kill, theft of motor vehicle, reckless conduct endangering life and several other offences.
