Ryan Meuleman, the cyclist seriously injured in a 2013 crash involving former Premier Dan Andrews, is now facing fresh charges after allegedly carjacking a woman with her twins outside a Melbourne laundromat. Police say Meuleman forced entry into the car, sparking a struggle over the gearstick, before being subdued by the victim’s husband. Meuleman, reportedly under the influence and using a false name, is seeking bail to enter a 12-week rehab program. His lawyer argues his mental health has been devastated by the 2013 accident and subsequent substance use. Meanwhile, Meuleman is also pursuing a defamation case against the Andrews, stemming from a public statement about a prior lawsuit against his former lawyers. His bail hearing continues in court on August fifth.
