Docklands, Victoria: Distressing moment teen thugs punch and kick a woman with Down Syndrome at a busy train station

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Horrifying video has emerged of two teenage girls viciously attacking a disabled woman at a busy train station. 

The teenagers are seen punching and kicking the woman with Down Syndrome at Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station in footage posted to social media.  

In the video, a teenage girl is seen delivering a brutal blow to the woman’s face.

The same teen delivers a flurry of blows before another girl runs up and punches the woman from behind, knocking her heavily to the ground.

Lying helpless on the ground, the woman is delivered a merciless kick to the head. 

‘That was (the) aim, you got what you deserve b****,’ one of the woman’s attackers is heard saying.

The attack was cut short after an elderly man bravely intervened by standing between the woman and her attackers. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Victoria Police for comment.  

Youth crime experts say incidents are often staged with the intention of posting the videos on social media to gain ‘likes’ and attention.

On Friday, video emerged of a teenage boy being brutally beaten by a gang of eshays.

The sickening incident appeared to be part of a feud between warring ‘postcode gangs’ in Brisbane suburbs. 

The victim, who is covered in blood, is told by his assailants that he is ‘f***ing guilty’.

‘I don’t know who you are,’ the boy replied.

‘You f***** up,’ his merciless attackers reply.

The video shows the boy being grabbed by the hair and whipped with what appears to be an electrical cord.

Accompanying comments indicate the violence was spurred by a rivalry between two gangs, identified as ‘Cabra’ and ’27’.

Last year NSW police were forced to issue a warning about so-called ‘fight club’ videos in a small country town, after teenagers began to stage punch-ups to film and post on social media.

Primary school-aged children and even parents were caught taking part in the bizarre phenomenon in Casino, in the Northern Rivers region in NSW.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood slammed the disgusting behaviour and called out the parents who were caught watching the fights.

‘In terms of social media platforms being utilised, these trends go beyond stupidity and recklessness, these acts are crimes,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.

‘Filming yourself committing a crime and posting the video online is a sure-fire way to get yourself arrested.’

Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood explained the fights did not appear to be solely a police issue but also a community one.

‘Everyone has to take responsibility and be in line with the old adage,”It takes a village to raise a child” … that’s what I am talking about,’ he said.
