JUST days after a similar case in Greenwood, details have emerged of another attempted carjacking in suburban Perth.

Police are appealing for witnesses over a serious assault of a man and in Forrestfield.

A man in his 20s was driving his white 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback along Edinburgh Road between 3am and 3.50am on July 25.

The victim was able to get into his car and drive away when another motorist drove by.

The offenders were described as being aged 20 – 25 years old and with dark skin.
