A graffiti vandal has been dragged hundreds of metres with his arm trapped in a car window after an angry clash at Yarraville in Melbourne.

A driver confronted the man after catching him illegally painting a wall at the local tennis court.

With half of his body hanging out of the window of the moving car, Mik Shida was clinging on for dear life.

Mr Shida said he pulled over and tried to reason with the Jaguar driver, but things quickly escalated.

"I leant into the window and the man grabbed my arm," Mr Shida said.

"Then he just hit the accelerator and drove off with me dangling outside."
