Police are hunting for a group of eight men who were allegedly behind a “cowardly” attack of three women on a bus in Doveton.
It’s alleged three females were kicked and punched by the thugs on the 828 bus from Dandenong train station to Box St around 7.40pm on February 26.
One woman suffered a mild traumatic brain injury and a broken nose and the other two victims sustained bruising.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton described the alleged attack as “cowardly” and “ridiculous”.
“It was actually a very serious attack,” Mr Patton said.
“For something like this to happen on public transport is just horrendous, obviously very disturbing.”
Mr Patton said police were still searching for the offenders after investigators released an image of two males who may be able to assist with their enquiries.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
