A street artist has allegedly been dragged down a street in Melbourne’s west, after a disapproving member of the public followed the artist from the scene.

First heard on The Rumour File, the artist was aggressively pursued by a car after painting a street art mural in Yarraville.

Artist Mik later confirmed the incident to Ross and John.

He says after he finished his painting, on a wall in Anderson Street Yarraville on Sunday, a man in a Jaguar began tailgating him.

Mik says he stopped and leaned into the man’s car to confront him.

That’s when the driver took off.

“I was screaming, begging for this guy to stop,” Mik said.

Mik said he did not have permission to paint the mural.

“In hindsight I regret it,” he said.
