A Norwegian tourist has been left injured and forced to flee Australia after being violently attacked by a group of youths at St Kilda Pier in broad daylight, with new footage revealing the scale of the assault.
Police say the 34-year-old man was wrongly accused of taking photos, chased down the pier, knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked, suffering a broken arm and facial injuries before a bystander intervened.
A 19-year-old man from Deer Park has since handed himself in and been charged with multiple offences including assault, robbery and theft, after the victim’s phone was allegedly stolen and thrown into the water.
Investigators are still seeking several others involved in the attack and say the victim attempted to prove his innocence during the confrontation but was ignored, describing the behaviour as disturbing and unacceptable.
Police have released CCTV of four people they’re searching for over a brutal assault on a tourist at St Kilda Pier.

Did those Vic-Cucks accuse the tourist of ignoring the glass and alcohol ban? that seems to be what they are implying.
typical wog behavior…wouldn’t expect anything less. No true blue Aussies left these days.
Wog is a good word
And a very good appropriation
Has got me into strife a couple of times through
The truth hurts
Last time we ‘Holiday’d’ in Oz was 18 years ago, and it was bad even back then.
Just another U.K. ‘Down-Unda’…
We go elsewhere for ‘Holidays’, or just stay home…
Cane and deport these leb dogs, back to the arab shithole your parents came from
wog dogs, typical wog behaviour, they should get caned and deported
