Friday, August 18, 2023
Police are investigating after a number of pedestrians were almost hit by a car in Craigieburn.
Investigators have been told a 34-year-old male had a verbal altercation with the driver of a car speeding in the carpark at Craigieburn Central Car park on August 5 about 2.50pm.
The offending vehicle has then driven north onto Main St and the victim has walked in the same direction.
The offending vehicle was stationary at a red light on Central Park Avenue when the driver ran the right light, mounted the curb, and drove towards the victim on the footpath, forcing the victim to jump out of the way.
The offending vehicle has then continued to drive south, performed a U-turn and drove up on to the footpath a second time at a fast rate of speed.
