Riding west along Waverley road after leaving Jells Park at about 6 pm I suddenly was belted on the left hip and buttock with an object, the shock made me swerve, hit the gutter, and swerve back out into the traffic, I looked up to see four or five teenage guys in a blue Commodore with P-plates (Victorian registration ###-###
) laughing and swearing out the windows. The object was some form of water-bomb, I believe a plastic juice bottle.
When I got home I decided to report it to the local police – Murrumbeena Station – and was greeted with disinterest, officer A. Stewart took the details on a scrap of notepaper, looked up the regoistration and said that since the car was registered to someone near where it had happened he would give them a call and then phone me the following day. I never received a follow up phone call.
