Footage has emerged of two truck drivers taking on allegedly armed carjackers in east Melbourne last week.
Bystanders filmed the fight between one of the drivers and two alleged offenders at a service station car park in Scoresby, in the city's east, and shared the footage with 9News.
An LG delivery driver was initially seen fighting off two of the alleged thieves on his own, swinging his fists wildly before his co-worker joined the fight.
The alleged thieves could be heard telling the first driver to “get back in your truck” and "calm down" as he continued to swing and kick, before picking up a level to hit them.
Witnesses told 9News the pair racially abused the man before demanding the keys to his truck.
One witness said the truck driver was "putting up a pretty good fight for a little while... I don't know if I’d do the same thing," he said.
Police said there were no serious injuries as a result of the fight, and were still looking for the two alleged attackers who fled in a red Subaru.
LG said in a statement to 9News it was aware of what had happened on Friday, but were still trying to confirm the details.
It said the two filmed in the fight were contractors, rather than employees.
A friend of the pair said they were in shock and trying to process what happened.
