VIC:Thugs steal good samaritan's car

A good samaritan has been bashed and has had his car stolen as he tried to help two stranded men.

The 46-year-old man was driving through Glenroy, in Melbourne's north, when the pair
flagged him down around 4.40am (AEDT) this morning, telling him their car had broken down.

The man offered the pair a lift and they instructed him to drive to a nearby laneway
where they assaulted him with an iron bar.

The men dragged the driver from the car and attacked him again, before speeding away in his car.

The victim was treated for cuts to his head and body.
