A teenager has been assaulted and robbed as he was allegedly set upon by a gang of young people on Sunday night.

Seven people – aged from just 13 to 21 years – were arrested after a 16-year-old was injured and had his mobile phone and items of clothing stolen at the Noarlunga Railway Station.

It will be alleged that about 6pm the boy was assaulted by the group with several of the suspects armed with weapons.

The suspects allegedly stole the victim’s mobile phone and some of his clothing before fleeing the scene.

Some of the suspects were known to the victim, who suffered minor injuries.

Police searched nearby houses and found the suspects, charging them with aggravated robbery.

In November, The Advertiser revealed Noarlunga Centre had the highest crime rate in metropolitan Adelaide with 72 “against the person” offences committed per 100 people, according to an analysis of South Australia Police crime statistics.

Sunday’s Noarlunga Railway Station assault comes as a woman recovers in hospital after a stabbing in the northern suburbs on the same night.

Emergency services rushed to the Broughton Rd house, at Elizabeth Vale at 7.44pm after police were told a woman had been stabbed in the stomach “by a man known to her”.

Paramedics, including emergency MedStar doctors, treated the woman, 28, at the scene before she was taken to hospital, believed to be the nearby Lyell McEwin.
