A 14-year-old boy is fighting for life after an ordeal during which he was allegedly forced into a car in Melbourne's south-east.
Police said the teenager came out of a moving dark grey Volkswagen Tiguan in "unknown circumstances" near the intersection of Neerim and Grange roads in Glen Huntly just after 3.35pm.
A short time earlier he had been confronted by "unknown offenders" and forced into the car before it was driven off along Neerim Road.

The boy was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital in a critical condition with upper body injuries.
Police are investigating if the incident is linked to an earlier one where four teenagers were allegedly robbed by two people armed with machetes in nearby Kambrook Road about 3.25pm.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined and investigations remain ongoing.
Anyone who sights the Volkswagen Tiguan involved should call triple zero immediately.
Anyone who witnessed either incident, has CCTV or dashcam footage or any other information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
