Man beaten after complimenting Hummer

September 09, 2007 04:18pm

A 30-year-old man is lucky to be alive after he and his wife were assaulted by up to six occupants of a Hummer vehicle as they stood admiring it in inner-Melbourne early today.

Police said the man and his 32-year-old wife were admiring a silver-coloured Hummer - a large, US-style four-wheel drive - outside Kings car park on Flinders Lane, between Spencer and King streets, about 5.30am (AEST) when they were set upon.

The man said "I love your car" before he was attacked by up to six people, with at least one brandishing a metal bar.

"The victim was severely beaten and left unconscious," Detective Senior Constable Brett Hampson said.

He was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with sever head injuries and blood loss.

The victim's wife was also taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
"We're very concerned about this assault. It was unprovoked and severe and extremely brutal," Det Sen Const Hampson said.

"The male's very lucky to still be alive."

Det Sen Const Hampson said the couple had been out drinking and were returning to their car with a friend when they were attacked.

Police are investigating whether a red sports car, which left the car park at the same time as the Hummer without rendering assistance, was also involved.

They say they are confident the Hummer - whose design is based on the US army's Humvee vehicle - will be found.

"It's a very distinctive car and we'll be very confident that we'll locate these people that have assaulted this male in such a bad way," Det Sen Const Hampson said.

The driver of the Hummer is described as being aged in his 30s, of Caucasian appearance, and was wearing dark jeans, a black T-shirt and had a tattoo of a cross on his right forearm.

A second offender was of Asian appearance and wearing a green T-shirt.
The silver Hummer had the word "Hummer" written down the side of it in dark writing, police said.

Did the guy in the green T-shirt in the "silver" Hummer bear any resemblance to Dennis AJC? I hear he can be vicious! :dancingbanana::giggling:

Re: Man beaten after complimenting Hummer
 

thinking that we are not getting the full story here....perhaps just another "hate the hummer" story. Yes I feel sorry for the people that got attacked....but what prompted the attack...thats the question...

It shouldn't be that hard, unless they import their cops from Canada. ;)

Exactly my thoughts--they were probably bashing it maybe even physically when they got a surprise--so the story changed. Makes better sense.
