A woman has suffered minor injuries after fighting off a trio of attempted carjackers in Wandin North in the early hours of Friday 31 January.
Police have been told an Audi sedan was travelling along the Warburton Highway when it lost control and rolled onto its roof just before 1am.
It is believed two unknown men and an unknown woman climbed out of the car and hailed down a vehicle which was travelling in the opposite direction.
The vehicle stopped and the trio demanded the 26-year-old female driver take them in her vehicle.
The Woori Yallock woman refused and wedged herself into her car seat by jamming her foot against the windscreen as one of the men began assaulting her while the other man tried to pull her out.
The offenders then ran away in an unknown direction after the woman fought them off.
Police are currently searching for the trio and appeal for them to hand themselves in. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit detectives are looking into whether the Audi had been reported stolen prior to the initial crash.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
