A 48-year-old man was taken to hospital with facial and spinal injuries after being attacked and bashed by teenagers in a Sydney shopping mall, police said.
The man was walking through Parramatta Mall about 8.40pm (AEDT) last night when he was approached by a girl who asked him for a cigarette.
Police said today the man was then accosted by a group of up to 15 people and beaten about the head and stomach with a metal shopping trolley pole, police said.
He was taken to Westmead Hospital with a severe cut to his head, a broken nose and suspected spinal injuries.
Witnesses managed to chase some of the group onto a train before asking the driver to stop the train and lock the doors until police arrived.
Two males, aged 14 and 15, and a 17-year-old female from Wentworthville, as well as a 17-year-old male from Merrylands have each been charged with affray.
The two 17-year-olds and 15-year-old will face Cobham Children's Court today, while the 14-year-old was granted bail to face court later this month.
Australia, huh
