Car park standoff ends in stabbing (Vic)

[Dauphin]

This happened in a Hoppers Crossing (Vic) shopping centre car park and the series of events is just bizarre. It implies the two drivers sat there facing off for 20 minutes before it got worse. Who knows what really happened.

A BIZARRE road rage incident has ended with the alleged aggressor in hospital after he was stabbed and beaten by two bystanders at a shopping centre in Hoppers Crossing.

It started with a stand-off between two drivers. A 58-year-old female driver trying to exit the car park through the entry stopped a 40-year-old man who was trying to drive in the entrance at the Woodville Park shopping centre.

Neither driver would reverse and stayed jamming the entry for about 20 minutes until the man drove forward and rammed the woman's car.

The woman had got out of her car shortly before the collision and was struck as he rammed into her car.

Two other men confronted the man in his car, smashed his windows and stabbed and beat him several times with a golf club.

The attackers - believed to be in their 20s and of an Islander appearance - fled the scene before police arrived.

The man was taken to the Royal Melbourne hospital in a serious but stable condition and the woman was in a stable condition in the Alfred Hospital.
