The tragedy began in Menton, in southeastern Melbourne, where police claimed that the man had badaulted his partner before taking the baby and escaping by car around noon, threatening to harm to himself and to the baby.

Police pursued the man along the Monash highway in a high-speed pursuit, but lost sight of him shortly after 1 pm when the prosecution was canceled "for security reasons," police said. .

The car he was driving was then found in a residential cul-de-sac in Cranbourne, after the man had swapped cars and headed north.

Special police officers from the Victoria Police Special Operations Group stopped the man at a gas station on the Hume Highway near Donnybrook, north of Melbourne, around 6 pm.

The baby was found safe and "does not need medical treatment," police said.

The man was remanded to appear tomorrow in the Moorabbin trial court.

Two other men in their twenties who were found with the Wodonga man at the gas station were questioned by the police and released without charge.
