Jet ski hoons allegedly endangered swimmers lives before one man assaulted a police officer at a boat ramp, cops say
Jet ski hoons allegedly rode “dangerously close” to swimmers at a popular snorkelling spot, with one of the men later allegedly assaulting a police officer at a nearby boat ramp.
The incident unfolded at Half Moon Bay in Melbourne’s southeast when officers patrolling the area allege they saw the rider of a jet ski speeding in a no boating zone about 3pm on Saturday.
Police allege the jet ski rider narrowly missed people in the water.

A police spokesperson said a 21-year old man from Craigieburn will be charged with endangering life, a 22-year old man from Fawkner will be charged with hindering police and a 24-year old man from Hatfield will be charged with assaulting police.
The spokesperson said all three men will be charged on summons.
