Police are looking for the occupant of a grey Nissan Pulsar who injured another driver when he threw a Jim Beam can at a car on the Monash Freeway on Friday 10 February.
The two cars were travelling outbound on the freeway near EastLink just before midnight when an occupant of the Pulsar threw the can into the driver’s side window of a black Holden Prelude.
The can hit the driver, a male in his 60s from the Casey area, in the face and caused a laceration.
The vehicles then continued down the Monash Freeway in and out of traffic before the victim exited at Stud Road and then turned into Heatherton Road with the offending vehicle still following.
The driver of the Nissan continued to harass the driver of the Holden on Heatherton Road by tailgating, flashing headlights and cutting the driver off.
The driver of the Holden eventually did a U-turn at James Fawkner Drive and pulled into Endeavour Hills Police Station.
The Nissan pulled over a short distance away from the police station but drove off once police came out of the station to check on the driver of the Holden.
Police ask anyone who may have witnessed the initial incident and subsequent erratic behaviour to contact Senior Constable Halion at Endeavour Hills Police Station on 9709 7666.
