Officers are appealing for public assistance following an armed robbery in Yarraville earlier this year.

Investigators have been told a car was pulled over to the side of Somerville Road to speak to a pedestrian about 2.40am on 11 July.

It is believed two unknown male offenders approached the victim inside the car while they were parked, before threatening him with a machete.

Investigators have been told the unknown pair made demands for drugs, cash and air pods.

During the confrontation, the victim had his hand cut with the machete.

Officers believe the victim then drove off, while one of the offenders hung on to the window.

After a short while, the victim stopped the car along Geelong Road and ran to safety.

The offender took off with cash and a pair of air pods.

Investigators have released images and CCTV of two males that may be able to assist with their enquiries.

Both males were wearing all black clothing and balaclavas.
