Carjacker allegedly stabs victim

A masked man dressed in black jumped into a car at Springvale’s busiest intersection, a woman alleges.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Brendan Fontana appealed for any witnesses to the Sunday 30 April incident to come forward.
The woman, 31, told police she was travelling west on Princes Highway in her blue Toyota Camry sedan and stopped at traffic lights at Centre and Springvale roads about 8.20pm.
She alleges a man dressed in black and wearing a face mask jumped into the driver’s seat and pushed her into the passenger seat and drove her car down to Huntingdale Road, stabbing her in the hand along the way.
The man, who had an African accent, according to the woman, had then fled the scene.
Det Sen Const Fontana urged anyone who saw the alleged carjacking to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
