Colin Flaherty (Author of Don't Make the Black Kids Angry and Knockout Game) Commentary News Video "Police hunt 20 youths over 'unprovoked and brutal' attack on two men in St Kilda" Australia Down Under black mob violence beating punched kicked hit attacked assaulted robbed by teen of African appearance send the back to Africa
Shocking footage has emerged of the moment two men were ambushed and bashed unconscious in an “unprovoked, random, senseless and brutal” attack by a group of 20 youths on the St Kilda foreshore.
The victims were left unconscious, and one was robbed, after being repeatedly kicked and punched in the random assault on December 1.
The attack was one of a number of violent incidents that prompted calls for Port Phillip Council to permanently ban alcohol on St Kilda's foreshore during summer. The council, bowing to rising pressure from businesses and police, voted to introduce the booze ban last week. It is expected to come into force next week.
The latest attack comes a month after a similar incident when a young chef and a 23-year-old man were set upon outside Donovan's restaurant.
CCTV footage of the latest incident shows the victims walking along the foreshore about 11.15pm when they were set upon by up to 10 youths, before another 10 joined in.
The victims tried to walk away, but they continued to be hassled by the group before things escalated further.
A 24-year-old Burwood East man suffered a broken nose and facial bruising in the attack. As he lay motionless on the ground, the offenders rifled through his pockets, stealing his wallet and mobile phone.
His friend, a 26-year-old Wheelers Hill man, tried to intervene in the attack, but was kicked in the head, chest and stomach until he collapsed on the ground.
The group is described as being African in appearance, and are believed to be in their mid-teens to early 20s. Police have released images of the a group of males they wish to speak to.
