9News understands the damaged parked car belongs to Lewis, the four-time Hawthorn premiership player.

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'," one of the brothers 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."
