A MUM has been pistol whipped during a horror carjacking in Melbourne’s southeast overnight with her children pleading for witnesses to come forward.
The woman was driving a Volkswagen Golf along Harrington Drive at Narre Warren South after 9pm when three youths in a car bumped her vehicle from behind.
“They’ve come out the car with a pistol and basically assaulted her and took the keys from my mum,” her son Jag told 3AW this morning.
The group threatened his mum and assaulted her to get her to give up the keys to the car, which she struggled to do because she was in shock.
“They’ve hit her with what we believe is a pistol or a gun in the face and then pushed her around trying to get the keys off her,” Jag said.
The group then took off in the distinctive car.
“She’s obviously shaken up, we’re taking her back to the doctors this morning … there’s a bit of paranoia there … there’s a lot of bruising and swelling,” her son said.
Jag and his sister have pleaded for anyone who saw anything or who sees the car to call 000.
Please if anyone sees this car let me know and can we share this if possible,” they said in a Facebook appeal.
The two offenders who attacked his mum were of African descent, one was at least 182cm, another was about 170cm tall and were in their late teens to early twenties, Jag said.
One of the men remained in a “light coloured 4WD” used to hit the Golf and fled in it, Victoria Police spokeswoman Creina O’Grady said.
Both the stolen car and the 4WD headed west on Harrington Drive, she confirmed.
The stolen car is described as a white Volkswagen MK7 R model Golf, with black badges on the front and rear.
It also has black and gold plates which read: BO-55.
