A 16-YEAR-OLD boy from Clyde North has been arrested and charged in relation to two attempted carjackings and assaults in his home suburb on Thursday 13 October.
The first incident occurred at about 11.30am on Viewbright Road when a 29-year-old man from Yarraville getting out of his car was approached by the teenager.
The teen demanded the man hand over his car keys but the man refused and the teenager then assaulted him, causing minor injuries.
The teenager left the man there and approached a second man in Como Parade a short distance away.
Again the teen demanded the man hand over his car keys and assaulted him when the man refused to comply with the teen’s demands.
The 28-year-old man from Cranbourne West also received minor injuries.
Frontline Tactical Unit officers arrested the teenager and charged him with two counts of attempted robbery, two counts of attempted theft of motor vehicle and assault-related offences.
The boy has been remanded in custody to appear at the children’s court at a later date.
