A CALWELL man who had allegedly been stalking a former colleague, deliberately crashed into her car yesterday (August 26). 

Before the crash, the man, a 26-year-old, was holding a large knife when he approached his former colleague, a woman, at a workplace in Isabella Plains.

The former colleague and another woman left in two seperate cars and the 26-year-old left in another.

The Calwell man then followed the two women in his own vehicle through Isabella Plains and Monash. When the women stopped at a set of traffic lights the man intentionally collided with their vehicles, heavily damaging and immobilising all three vehicles, and damaging a fourth vehicle, police report.

Police attended the scene of the collision and seized two large knives from the man’s vehicle, and arrested the man.
