A 13-year-old boy was stabbed and whacked unconscious with a baseball bat in Melbourne’s west - then his young attackers returned for a second round, as as two witnesses watched in horror.
The attack happened about 11pmlast night in a walkway between Kings Road and Beverley Street in Kings Park.
The boy, who is in the Royal Children’s Hospital with possible skull fractures, told police was on his way to a party in the area, to which he was not invited, when he was bashed.
Detective Senior Constable Simon Pengelly described the attack as one of the worst assaults he had seen.
‘‘It’s extremely vicious,’’ he said on Sunday.
"He was hit at least five times with a baseball bat while he was unconscious.’’
Det Snr Const Pengelly said after stabbing the boy in the lower back and bashing him unconscious, the three offenders left. Two witnesses came to the victim’s aid and called emergency services.
‘‘The offenders came back and then they’ve assaulted him again with a baseball bat while the witnesses were there,’’ he said.
The three perpetrators are believed to be of Asian and Maori descent and aged between 16 and 20.
Police believe the victim may have been known to the offenders.The victim, of Fitzroy, is in a serious but stable condition.
Police urge anyone who saw the attack to call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.*******************************
Yeah - Call Crimestoppers that'll make everything alright. Calling Emergency Services didn't do fuck all to stop the second attack and the two witnesses did fuck all to stop the first.
Honestly - I reckon only about 5 people in Australia would think that law abiding private citizens should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon for the defence of self and others. If this kid dies it's on gun control australia's head - and the moral cowards that would have someone else do the heavy lifting. Guess what? You're a someone. Maybe you think only Police should have guns?
Cops have guns. Politicians have armed Police as body guards.
