Aussie says what everyone is thinking after spate of disgusting racist attacks
An Aussie bloke has condemned the horrifying attack on a Chinese couple after CCTV showed the pair being viciously attacked by a group of teenagers.
The pair were confronted and later encircled in the courtyard of a unit complex on Oscar Place in Eastgardens, in Sydney 's east, on Wednesday.
Five youths, some as young as 12, were arrested following the unprovoked attack, which saw a 42-year-old woman hospitalised for facial injuries.
In distressing CCTV of the attack, she is seen being dragged to the ground and repeatedly beaten as a 40-year-old man desperately calls for help.
David Galusi, an internet personality who grew a large Chinese social media following while he lived in the country, condemned the attack in a recent TikTok.
'They were just sitting down, speaking in Mandarin, and a bunch, I mean four to six teenagers, went out and blatantly attacked them for no reason whatsoever,' he said.
'It is absolutely not on, it is totally disgusting.
'Racism is not welcome in Australian society, and we are a society of multiculturalism. We accept all cultures in this country.'
Galusi said those involved do not reflect the broader community after the video went viral on Chinese social media and sparked major backlash.
'Please do not judge our country based on these idiots, because their parents couldn't educate them well enough,' he said.
The social media star also called for tougher measures for violent youth offenders.
Pointing to Queensland's 'Adult Time, Adult Crime' laws, he urged NSW to follow suit.
Under Queensland's expanded legislation, 33 additional serious offences, such as attempted murder, rape, and robbery, can now see young offenders tried as adults.
NSW Police told Daily Mail Australia that, despite widespread speculation, there was no evidence to suggest the couple were targeted due to their race.
The attack gained significant attention after it was shared to TikTok with the caption: 'In Australia, a Chinese couple was surrounded and brutally attacked by over 20 teenagers in the street, just because they spoke Chinese.
'The police don't care. The media ignores it. If we don't speak up, who will?'
The video sparked outrage, with the poster adding, 'This isn't an isolated case, there have been similar attacks in Redfern and Waterloo'.
The man and woman in the Eastgardens incident were treated by paramedics for facial injuries before they were taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Both have since been discharged.
Two 12-year-old girls were charged on Thursday and remain before the courts. Following further investigations, another five youths were arrested.
A 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl were arrested on Friday after presenting to Maroubra Police Station.
The boy has since been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm in company and affray. He was granted bail and will attend court on June 16.
It's expected the 16-year-old girl teenage girl will be dealt with under the Younger Offenders Act at a later stage.
Two teenage girls - both 14 - and a 13-year-old boy attended Maroubra Police Station at different times on Friday and were each arrested and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm in company of other(s) and affray.
All three were granted conditional bail to appear at a children's court at a later date.
NSW Police said it was not looking for any other persons in relation to the assault.
