A similar incident has happened in London in 2023

The latest case of a woman being assaulted by two teens in Melbourne is not the first incident so far. Back in October 2023, a female passenger was attacked by two women inside a train traveling to Paddington and she was reportedly punched in the face, as per The Mirror.

One of the passengers reportedly started to record everything and as the woman was cornered by two men, she began screaming for help at one point. The women continued to attack despite that the victim fell and one of them attempted to get hold of her bag. While the train stopped, a few passengers reportedly interfered to stop the assault.

The British Transport Police confirmed at the time that they had begun investigating the case and that the victim was reportedly 20 years old. They additionally requested eyewitnesses to call 0800405040 or send a message at 61016 and continued:

"We are aware of footage circulating on social media showing an incident on an Elizabeth line train. Everyone has the right to travel without fear of assault or harassment and violence will not be tolerated anywhere on the network."

The woman was reportedly taken to the hospital but her identity has not been disclosed until now. Netizens also reacted to the video by calling it "gut-wrenching" and "disgusting."
