Images have been released of a group of men who allegedly assaulted a speed camera operator in Melbourne’s north overnight with a wheelie bin.
Investigators allege that five men ambushed the traffic camera vehicle on Nicholson St in Coburg just after midnight, throwing large rocks and a council wheelie bin at the windows, which caused them to break.
They allegedly fled on foot following the incident.
Police have published dashcam footage of the alleged attack, showing three men they believe can assist them in investigations into the attack.
Sharnika Paris’ bin was used by the alleged criminals to smash the car’s windows in.
“Pretty shocking really. It’s not very nice to know that it’s happening out the front of your house,” Paris said.
The camera operator, a 36-year-old from St Albans, managed to drive away from the scene and flag help.
He was treated for minor cuts.
Police are investigating the incident and have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
