Police charge two teenagers after crash involving car of AFL great Jordan Lewis

Two teenagers — who flipped a car into a vehicle belonging to Hawthorn premiership hero Jordan Lewis — have been charged for multiple offences, including three alleged attempted carjackings.

It has been alleged that one of the teens — a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old — threatened two drivers with an axe.

The alleged incidents took place in Richmond, Melbourne, on Friday afternoon.

Lewis — who retired in 2019 after a brilliant 319-game career with Hawthorn and Melbourne — was caught on camera at the time of the crash, holding his head as he realised his jeep was involved.

Dash-cam footage of one of the alleged carjackings has also emerged.

In the footage one of the boys allegedly runs from a Subaru to a BMW while holding an axe.

“I’m being chased, I’m literally being chased,” the BMW driver says in the footage.

“Some c*** got out of the car and he’s literally chasing me … I’m going to call the cops.”

Melbourne Divisional Response Unit allege that the Subaru Outback wagon was also stolen.

The alleged incident with the BMW driver happened on Bendigo St, Richmond. He was not physically injured and continued driving towards Swan Street.

A short time later, an occupant of the Subaru allegedly approached a man in a black Mercedes at the intersection of Burnley and Swan streets.

It is alleged he brandished a weapon and attempted to pull the driver from the Mercedes. He was unsuccessful and the Mercedes drove off.

The Subaru was allegedly stolen during an aggravated burglary in Berwick on January 30.

It was involved in a collision with an orange Holden Barina near the intersection of Hutchings Street. The female driver of the Holden was not injured.

The Subaru then crashed into Lewis’ parked black Jeep and flipped.

Several members of the public came to assist the two occupants of the Subaru before they allegedly fled north on Church Street.

They were detained at a fast-food restaurant before police arrived.

An 18-year-old Ringwood man was arrested and taken to hospital under police guard. A 15-year-old Traralgon boy was arrested and taken into custody.

They have both been charged with three attempted aggravated carjackings, theft of a motor vehicle, handling stolen goods, going equipped to steal, four counts of possessing a controlled weapon without excuse, and driving offences.

The 18-year-old man was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later on Saturday.

The 15-year-old boy was remanded to appear at a children’s court.
