Elias Natano also knocked down a single mother and stabbed her brother before also running over him during the North Melbourne crime spree in April 2021.

The inebriated man was caught on video yelling, ‘You’re going to have to put a bullet in me, boy’ as officers backed away before he opened the car door and drove off.
Police were forced to chase their own vehicle with Natano clocking 225 km/h in the brazen carjacking.
The violent rampage came to an end after he crashed the police car and was bitten by a police dog.
Authorities first captured Natano at his home after he attacked his brother, leaving him with life-threatening injuries in Kalkallo, north Melbourne. 7News informed.
He ambushed his brother and stabbed him four times in the middle of a road in a frenzied attack caught on CCTV, before also running over his legs.
