An 18-year-old from Ferntree Gully has been arrested and charged with affray after an alleged road rage incident in Malvern on Tuesday 2 May.

Police said a man was riding on an electric scooter near the Normanby Road underpass at 4.30pm, when a silver Volkswagen Jetta sedan followed the rider before “brandishing weapons.”

The men allegedly threw a bottle at the rider, who managed to flee. The two men returned to the car and drove away in the aftermath.

The 18-year-old was arrested and bailed and will appear at Ringwood Magistrate’s Court on 2 June.

Police said investigations are ongoing.
