Retired AFL premiership player Jordan Lewis was out having lunch in Melbourne when two teenagers crashed an allegedly stolen car into his parked car and made a run for it.
The car struck another car driving in the opposite direction before it hit Lewis’ brand new Jeep and flipped onto its side on Church Street in Richmond about 1.30pm today.
The pair then allegedly jumped from the car and ran from the scene.
Two brothers nearby witnessed the event and chased down the teenagers to the KFC restaurant on Swan Street, where they restrained the pair until police arrived.
“I looked at my brother, he looked at me and I said, ‘We got to get him’,” Matthew Turco told 9News.
“We just started chasing him and we ran sort of down that way and I was screaming out to him, ‘Just stop because I’m going to get ya.’
“It was like a little bit of a cat and mouse sort of type thing. They were going through some back streets.”
One of the teenagers was arrested and is currently being questioned.
The other was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital.
No one else was injured.
