Stonnington detectives are appealing for public assistance following a collision and carjacking on the Monash Freeway in Kooyong over the weekend.
Stonnington Crime Investigation Unit detectives believe a stolen Toyota Prius was seen driving erratically and speeding outbound on the Monash Freeway before it crashed into barriers just before Glenferrie Road about 6.15am on Saturday, April 26.
A 33-year-old woman driving behind the Toyota stopped to assist at the crash scene before it believed five teenagers got out of the Prius.
Two of the five teens set upon the woman, and a struggle took place before they forcibly removed her car keys from her hands.
The three female and two male teens fled in her blue Toyota sedan, registration 1LK6LL, outbound on the Monash Freeway.
The woman sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics.
The Toyota Prius was stolen during an aggravated carjacking in Point Cook on Thursday, April 24.
It is believed a group of four male offenders approached a vehicle parked on Adelphi Boulevard while the driver was entering a fast-food restaurant, about 9.50pm.
A female passenger in the vehicle was threatened with an edged weapon before she was able to flee.
She was not physically injured.
No arrests have been made. Investigations remain ongoing.
