A Canadian man is in a Sydney, Australia, hospital after he was severely beaten by two teens using a bar ripped from his own wheelchair, local police said.

The 35-year-old man, reportedly from Winnipeg, was in a train station Tuesday night (March 9, 2010) when he was approached and insulted by two teenage boys, New South Wales police said.

After watching his friends perform at the Rooty Hill RSL, he allegedly ran into the two teenagers, one aged 16 and the other aged between 12 and 15. The pair abused him and followed him along the platform.

What followed was described by Mount Druitt Local Area Commander Superintendent Wayne Cox as a ''calculated assault'' and ''one of the most serious attacks I've seen''.

The Canadian fled to a lift for safety, but his assailants caught up with him. They allegedly stomped on him and struck his head and body with a pole and a piece of the wheelchair.

They tried to steal the wheelchair and scattered coins suggested the youths had also tried to take his wallet.

A horrified station worker called police and a 16-year-old was arrested. He faced Parramatta Children's Court yesterday, charged with robbery and grievous bodily harm offences.

He will front court again next month.

Police say another young man presented himself to Mount Druitt police station Wednesday evening and is being questioned.

  • They were unsucessful and I managed to escape to a nearby supermarket. I managed to get hold of a weapon and went back to the spot of the attempted attack. I saw them in a car in the distance but they wouldn't attack again because the element of surprise had been lost and they probably suspected that if I had come back, that I was probably armed. World-class wankers. If the odds are even slightly tipped back in your favour, those types of wannabe-tough-guys will quickly lose their nerve.

  • Two 'guys' to attack one wheel-chair bound individual ? AHAHAHAHAH! I'm telling you, the magnitude of faggoty cowardice that I see on display from people nowadays is unbelievable. Just the other day, two masked, Caucasian males (the eye-holes were big enough that I could see the surrounding skin, they could have been European or Lebanese) tried to attack me in the carpark area of Mt Druitt shopping centre as I made my way to the shops.

  • and they tried to take money from him as well fuckin greedy bastards they already get centerlink money

  • fuckin fobs!! this gives australia a bad name and makes my blood boil, Wat a low act ARGG!!

  • @ml1157 I'm in a wheelchair too and still fuck canada lol. I'm in the u.s and I have my .45 (illegal in canada) my riot grade pepper spray (illegal in canada) and my knife (customs in canada took it from me). But respect to another wheelchair bound brother.

  • What kind of "tourist" travels Australia and goes to its worst parts... Yes. Mt Druitt really is the place to be indulging yourself in the most sophisticated beauty of Sydney >.>

  • @studpuppy69 Why do you keep such images in your imagination? You really are a strange individual.

  • @MrSkycity007 I'm canadian. I'm in a wheelchair. And i'm telling you, if you dont care for someone who is paralized and in a wheelchair, you dont deserve the statut of human being.

    And i wont wish you to ever be in a wheelchair. But if you could try it for a couple weeks, maybe you will change your opinion.

    As for the "FUCK CANADA", Come and visit us, we'll try to transplant you with a little brain,

  • fuck canada
