Shocking twist on teen accused of pushing elderly man off pier
Just hours after a 14-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly shoving an elderly man off the Mornington Peninsula pier, the teenager has been accused of previously assaulting a woman.
Jamie Tilbrook, 35, was allegedly bashed by the same group of teens who pushed the 79-year-old off the pier.
Shocking CCTV footage of the alleged attack showed two boys throwing a series of punches towards Ms Tilbrook's head in broad daylight, after she confronted them for vandalising a bus and tipping bins over.
"I said, 'What the f--- are you doing?' They turn around and jump me," she said.
"Two boys just come and started smashing me in the head. I was telling my girlfriend to get away, like, I didn't want her to get attacked."
The 35-year-old had to be rushed to hospital after losing consciousness and spent a night at The Alfred, where doctors had to glue her wound shut.
Ms Tilbrook told 9News that she no longer goes out and night and has to constantly watch her back after the alleged assault.
The incident came just two months before the alleged attack of the elderly man, and the 14-year-old boy was on bail when he pushed the man off the pier.
Ms Tilbrook revealed she was "disgusted" that the same boy who was charged after allegedly assaulting her, was now accused of pushing a fisherman off the pier.
His friends had filmed the horrific incident before posting it online.
9News revealed that the teenager has since been charged over the assault and allegedly breaching his bail conditions.
He will reportedly face children's court at a later date.
