Four teens charged after Sydney train station brawl

An 11-year-old is among a group of young girls charged over an alleged brawl in Sydney’s inner west over the weekend, with footage of the wild fight emerging on social media.

About 9pm on Saturday police raced to Burwood station after reports of a brawl, and were told two women aged 27, a woman aged 44 and a 27 year-old man had been attacked by a group of girls.

Footage of the incident, shared online showed the group of screaming women tussling on the platform, with bags strewn on the ground, fists flying and hair being pulled.

The clip also appears to show one girl being hit by three others at one point before one woman with her headscarf half torn off her head drags one away and another falls to the ground before screaming as one girl tries to drag her by her hair across the platform.
