Monash Crime Investigation Unit detectives are searching for a man who left a 34-year-old woman with non-life-threatening head injuries following an attempted aggravated carjacking in Oakleigh last Friday.
It is alleged the victim was sitting in her parked black Maserati SUV along Atherton Road, when she was approached, dragged out of her vehicle, and assaulted by an unknown man about 6pm on Friday, 2 August.
The Wheelers Hill woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Nearby witnesses located the offender in the woman's vehicle and attempted to stop him, but he fled the scene towards Atkinson Street on foot.
One of the witnesses, a 40-year-old Point Cook man also sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The offender is perceived as being Middle Eastern in appearance, in his 40's with a medium build, a beard, moustache and shaggy hair.
He was last seen wearing a black coat, dark pants, and black runners.
