A manhunt is underway after a woman was attacked with a machete during a carjacking at a petrol station in Melbourne’s south-east about 6.35pm yesterday.

The 29-year-old was approached by three males – at least one of whom had a machete – at a service station in Dandenong as she was returning to her car after paying for petrol.

One of males demanded her keys and tried to snatch them from her, but police say she put up a fight and was struck on the arm by the machete in the scuffle.
