A rideshare driver has been left with multiple injuries including a broken nose after a terrifying daylight assault involving two young men on a busy suburban road.
Police believe the attack occurred shortly after the driver accepted the job from a home in Warrandyte, north-east of Melbourne, about 2.30pm on May 17.
The victim had been driving four males from the location when they started smoking and swearing, forcing the rideshare driver to cancel the trip on Main Road in Lower Plenty.
Two males set-upon the victim shortly after the trip was cancelled, punching and kicking him repeatedly while he was in the middle of the road, detectives say.
CCTV shows the two young males appearing confrontational as they gestured toward traffic on the busy road before fleeing the scene.
