A DINGLEY Village man awoke when a white Holden ute with two men aboard reversed up his driveway and rammed into his garage door, 2.35am, Tuesday.
The victim, 53, of Harrier Ct, confronted one of the men before the ute reversed into him, and he ended up in the tray. The man jumped out as the ute drove off and then tackled the driver of another car – a white 4X4 ute – grabbing him around the neck. That car did a hasty U-turn on the nature strip, damaging a fence and narrowly missing neighbours’ cars, and drove off.
The man suffered a possible torn Achilles and cuts to the lower back in the incident and was taken to Dandenong hospital for treatment.
He said motorbikes previously stored in the garage were a possible target.
The three men are described as Caucasian and aged about 27.
The white 4X4, previously stolen, was found burnt-out at the Five Ways Bvd/Springvale Rd intersection, Keysborough, 2.56am.
Anyone with information should call Kingston police, 9556 6565.
