A teenager who filmed a hit and run on Beach Road at Beaumaris that left two cyclists with lifelong injuries has been arrested again.
The 14-year-old was on probation for the incident at Melbourne’s Bayside and is on multiple counts of bail for separate matters when it’s alleged he carjacked a woman with a machete yesterday morning.
He has served less than one third of his nine-month probation order for recording a deliberate hit and run on Beach Road in January.

The 14-year-old along with a 17-year-old and 15-year-old allegedly tried to run but were all cuffed.
It’s alleged the teenager, who can’t be named for legal reasons, carjacked a woman at a carpark in Mordialloc around 9.30am.
Police said the woman was forced out of her Mercedes by the machete-wielding gang before they took off in the vehicle.
Later, the Air Wing tracked the Mercedes to Carrum Downs, where stop sticks slowed the alleged joyride.
