On Saturday the 25-08-12 at around 12.30 am a nineteen-year-old male as well as two others he was with were attacked by a gang in Flinders Lane in the Melbourne CBD. Approximately one hour later the gang attacked a forty-three-year-old male with rocks and demanded his phone and wallet. A short time later, at around 2.20 am, a twenty-five-year-old male was pushed off his bike and robbed in Birrarung Marr. Three teenage males aged from fifteen to seventeen years have since been charged with seventeen offences, including physical assault and robbery, while three sixteen-year-old girls are also being questioned by police.
