Snr Sgt Crone said the woman was set upon when she allegedly tried to take a photograph of the teens.

The victim was punched several times in the face and knocked to the ground, where she was kicked and dragged by the hair. She sustained a cut lip and facial bruising.

Police have since identified the other alleged assailants but are yet to formally lay charges.

They have released CCTV images of the teen gang in the hopes of speaking with any eyewitnesses or commuters who were approached by the same group.

Investigations are now being conducted by officers from the Morningside child protection unit.
