Police have charged two females over an alleged assault and two alleged carjackings in Taylors Lakes last night (30 September).
Investigators have been told two males and two females flagged down a vehicle on the Nepean Hwy in St Kilda around 9.40pm.
The female driver of the vehicle agreed to give the offenders a lift, but once they were inside the vehicle, one of the females allegedly took the victim's mobile phone and refused give it back.
The two males exited the vehicle at a bus stop in Taylors Lakes, while the two females directed the driver to a laneway off Bellbird Avenue.
When the vehicle came to a stop, one of the females allegedly pulled the driver out of the vehicle and onto the ground, before punching her in the face.
The females were unable to operate the vehicle, and then allegedly flagged over another car, threatening the driver.
The females allegedly drove the car a short distance before it crashed into a median strip, then fled the scene on foot.
Police arrested the pair nearby a short time later.
The female driver of the first vehicle, a 22-year-old from Caufield, suffered serious injuries to her face, while the male driver of the second vehicle, a 20-year-old from Taylors Lakes was not injured.
