Five youths, some as young as 12, have been arrested after a woman was rushed to hospital after being targeted in an unprovoked attack in Sydney. The woman, 42, and a 40-year-old man, were ambushed inside the courtyard of a unit complex on Oscar Place, in Eastgardens, on Wednesday. In shocking CCTV of the attack, the woman is seen being pushed to the ground and repeatedly hit and kicked as the man called for help and tried to block the blows. The attack continued until a passerby with a dog rushed to help the couple.

Brit tourist, 68, dies three months after horror ‘unprovoked' attack on night out during Spain holiday
A BRITISH man has died from his injuries three months after an "unprovoked" attack during a night out in Spain. Retired carpenter Marshall Latham, 68, was left fighting for his life after being sucker punched in a street on the Canary island Fuerteventuran in December. He sustained a serious brain injury after smacking his head on the concrete floor - and tragically died on March 16 at the Walton Centre at Aintree Hospital. The deadly attack happened when after Marshall, from Nantwhich, Cheshire, had been out drinking with friends in the resort of Caleta de Fuste, on the east side of the island. As he was walking home, he was "punched out of the blue by someone he didn't know", according to the GoFundMe appeal set up in his name. Other witness reports also say that the attack was unprovoked and there was no prior altercation between the two. Marshall was knocked off his feet by the strike and smacked his head on the hard concrete floor - knocking him unconscious. Emergency services rushed to the scene and Marshall was whisked to hospital in Puerto del Rosario, where he was sedated, before being transferred to a larger facility in Gran Canaria. There, he had a 14cm chunk of his skull removed, a tracheotomy, a drain on his brain to help ease pressure, and suffered pneumonia twice and meningitis. Loved ones were been told "not once, but twice" that they need to say goodbye to him - but then hope emerged he would survive. is your go-to destination for the best celebrity news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
