Detectives have arrested two teens after a victim was struck with a machete in Belgrave earlier this week.
It is alleged that two victims, a man and a woman, were confronted by a group of males on Blacksmiths Way about 7.10pm on Wednesday 29 October.
One alleged offender struck the male victim with a machete before the group of males took off from the scene in a white BMW sedan.
The victim, a 27-year-old Ferntree Gully man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives allege the same vehicle was used to steal petrol from a service station on the Western Freeway in Ballan earlier in the day.
A 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy, both from the Moorabool area, were arrested earlier today.
They will both be interviewed by police.
Detectives are still working to identify a third alleged offender.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
