Man charged following public collision and altercation in Melton

(Joe Mastroianni).

A 21-year-old man has been charged following an alleged collision and assault in Melton yesterday.

It is believed a man stepped out of his vehicle and smashed the windscreen of another car on Coburns Road about 3.30pm on Tuesday, March 15.

This alleged incident caused three other cars on the road to collide with each other, police said.

Police believe that after the windshield was smashed, the man in that vehicle got out of his car and engaged in an altercation with the 21-year-old.

Police reported no serious injuries from the incident.

The man has since been charged with several offences, including reckless conduct endangering life, affray and assault with a weapon.
