The dramatic moment a man is run over and carried along a road in a horror hit-and-run at a car meet

An investigation is underway after a man was run over and dramatically carried along the road at an organised car meet.  

Captured in horrific video footage, the hit-and-run collision occurred in Coburg North, Melbourne, on Saturday.  

The victim, understood to be in his 30s, was lucky to escape with non-life threatening injuries. 

The incident is being investigated by Fawkner Highway Patrol officers who understand the car meet took place at a drive-in on Newlands Road from 11am.

The organisers of the show were marshalling cars out of the venue at the conclusion of the event when one vehicle performed a low-speed burnout, police were told.

The victim confronted the male driver inside the blue sedan at about 4pm.

He was then struck by the vehicle and pushed onto the bonnet of the car where he was carried a short distance.

The vehicle fled the scene and was last seen driving south towards the Murray Road.  

Fawkner Highway Patrol Acting Senior Sergeant Dean Pickering said the incident could have been a lot worse and appealed for the driver to hand himself in.

‘It was a very deliberate action and decision for that driver to do what he did – it has gone from a burnout to a serious criminal matter,’ Acting Sen-Sgt Pickering said.

‘It is only fortunate that the victim did not wind up with more serious injuries, given the circumstances.

‘I would appeal for the driver to do the right thing and hand himself in.’

Police are urging anyone with information or anyone who witnessed the incident to contact Crime Stoppers.
