Drivers in Melbourne have been left terrified after armed men clashed in the middle of a busy freeway.

The chaos began about 2.30pm yesterday when two cars lost control after weaving through traffic on the Monash Freeway in Narre Warren in Melbourne’s south-east.

Several masked men, some apparently armed with machetes and metal poles, then spilled out of the cars and began brawling in the middle of the freeway.

Phone video shows some of the men approaching the windows of a car with a family inside.

Innocent drivers tried to speed away while others attempted to reverse to a nearby exit.

By the time police arrived at the scene, most of the men had fled into nearby bushland.

Three lanes of the freeway were closed as the dog squad was brought in to search the area.

Only one man was questioned and was released without charge.

There were no injuries reported during the incident.

Housing Minister Harriet Shing insisted Victoria’s ban on machetes was having a positive impact on crime, but conceded incidents like this highlight areas for improvement.

“The vast majority of people who call Victoria home have an experience of safety, cohesion and connectedness,” she said.

“There’s always more work to do, however.”
