POLICE have arrested a 14-year old girl following last week’s alleged assault of an 18-year-old man at Pakenham train station last Friday.
A police statement released Wednesday morning 9 December detailed that the Pakenham man suffered minor injuries as a result of the incident and received treatment at hospital for an unrelated matter.
It went on to say that the alleged assault happened in Bourke Park sometime between 4pm and 7pm and that the parties were known to each other.
Footage of the girl dealing two punches to the man’s face was uploaded on Monday 7 December and has since been viewed more than 280,000 times and elicited rage from Facebook users.
It was posted by ‘Most Wanted Lads’, a page inviting users to send videos or pictures which will then be posted anonymously.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
