Gun pointed at road rage ram victim

By CASEY NEILL

A GUN-TOTING driver chased and rammed another motorist during a 15-minute road rage rampage in Dandenong South.
The incident started with a near-collision between the pair on the South Gippsland Highway, between the Dandenong Bypass and Greens Road, about 5.55pm on Tuesday 5 April.
Greater Dandenong CIU Senior Constable Karen McIntyre said the hoon forced the victim off the road shortly after, got out of his car and pointed a gun at the shocked 29-year-old.
The victim drove away but the armed man followed for a number of kilometres, into an industrial area where he rammed the Dandenong man’s car several times and again produced the firearm.
Sen Const McIntyre said the victim was eventually able to flee and attended Dandenong police station. His car suffered extensive damage.
The road-rage driver’s vehicle is described as a 1985 F100 single cab ute, matte black with a matching black tray and Victorian plates.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
