A Rebels bikie boss and two patched members have been charged following a police probe into an assault that left another man injured.
A 49-year-old man, who Victoria Police say is the president of the Rebels' Bendigo chapter, was taken into custody on Thursday and questioned over the violent attack.
A 28-year-old man believed to be a sergeant-at-arms of the regional club and a 25-year-old patched member, both from Epsom, were also interviewed.
The arrests came during early-morning raids at homes at North Bendigo and Epsom, and at the Rebels' clubhouse at Long Gully.
It follows an alleged assault just before 10pm on May 15 outside a North Bendigo home.
Police say a man was working on his vehicle when a motorbike sped past, prompting him to wave for it to slow down.
A short time later, the 49-year-old North Bendigo man and 25-year-old allegedly returned in a white Commodore ute wearing Rebels colours and assaulted the victim.
A third man, believed to be the 28-year-old, also arrived and allegedly joined in the assault.
The victim was hospitalised with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The three men have each been charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury, affray, assault while in company and assault with a weapon.
They were bailed to front Bendigo Magistrates Court in September.
"This is an unprovoked and callous assault on a completely innocent member of the public simply going about his own business," acting Detective Inspector Ash Ryan from the Echo Taskforce said.
"It is utterly unacceptable behaviour, and it will not be tolerated."
The victim was discharged from hospital and was recovering from the attack, acting Det Insp Ryan said.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Acting Det Insp Ryan urged anyone with information about the assault to speak to police.
"We are really concerned about the level of violence that this displayed," he said.
The force works closely with the Australian Federal Police's National Anti-Gangs Taskforce to tackle gang crime.
The Echo Taskforce was formed in 2011 to disrupt and investigate crimes linked to various gangs, including outlaw motorcycle gangs, Middle Eastern organised crime groups and street gangs.
