Footage of a shocking, violent assault on an intellectually disabled youth by two teenagers has emerged on social media after being filmed by a witness.
The footage, which was captured by a witness on an unidentified date, captured the horrific moments the youth was brutally assaulted in broad daylight at what is reported to be a regional train station.
In the footage the two teens, a shirtless boy and a girl, are seen standing over the youth, who is sitting on a bench at the station wearing sunglasses.
The youth has his hands up, saying he’s “trying to surrender”.
The girl then asks him if he “wants me to hit you, m----------r” before taking his sunglasses and throwing them onto the railway tracks.
He screams that “she lost my glasses”, at which point the boy punches him in the face.
The teen then unleashes a barrage of blows on the defenceless youth, who cowers on the seat to try and protect himself.
The brutal assault lasts for 10 seconds, with the shirtless teen calling the youth a “f-----g soft c--t”.
As the youth sobs in his seat begging for the teens to stop assaulting him, the girl starts laughing.
