POLICE are calling on witnesses to come forward, after a man and a Good Samaritan were assaulted in Belgrave on Saturday night.
Belgrave Police Sergeant, Carolyn Sunderland, said that at 11pm on Saturday, 26 March, two men were assaulted at Belgrave’s rear car park, off of Reynolds Lane.
Sgt Sunderland said the first man, believed to be in his thirties, was walking through the car park, and was involved in an “altercation” with another man.
“It’s unknown how the fight started,” she said.
The man in his thirties was knocked unconscious, and a passerby who went to assist the man, also in his thirties, was also assaulted by the man.
Sgt Sunderland said a woman at the scene slashed the passer-by across the back “with a sharp instrument”, and that both victims were taken to the Angliss Hospital.
She said neither victim was local to Belgrave.
Police are investigating CCTV footage, and are calling for anyone who may have witnessed the fight to come forward.
The man involved in the assault is described as being of Islander descent, aged in his early twenties, with a solid build and was “unshaven”.
The woman involved is described as about 19 years old, short, with blonde hair. Another woman was believed to be with the two attackers at the time.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
