Shocking footage has emerged of teen thugs filming themselves assaulting a man in Bendigo’s CBD, near Bendigo Marketplace where a gang of teen thugs allegedly attacked a security guard and bystanders on Monday.
The violent scenes, also near Bendigo Marketplace, were captured on Thursday as the group of youths called their victim a “pedo” on the corner of Mollison St and Mitchell St.
Later the same day, police were filmed pepper spraying a group of teens at the nearby Bendigo station after they were asked to disperse.
The youths then fled towards the Bendigo Marketplace.
It is unclear if it was the same group of teens who bashed the man.
In the aftermath of the alleged Monday Bendigo Marketplace, police ramped up patrols in the area.
