A woman who was battered and robbed by a gang of vicious teen girls has shared her ordeal, sparking fresh fears over youth violence on public transport .
She told the Record: "Five or six of them came over and I felt the impact on my jaw from the punch. Then one of them grabbed my hair and slammed my head forward, jamming my face between my seat and the glass window of the bus. The shop worker then returned to the bus where the driver tried to called her mum to come and get her.The terrifying attack on Aaliyah comes after the Record reported on a number of violent incidents taking place on public transport as part of its Our Kids ... Our Future campaign.
He said: “They’ve turned them into mobile gang huts. We barely have a day at work that passes without disorder. My colleagues have witnessed stabbings and full-scale riots on journeys.In footage published by the Record, one sickening filmed on a train shows a boy chasing another young male through a carriage in Glasgow before he catches up with him and proceeds to repeatedly stamp on his head.
"I felt afraid even sitting downstairs next to the driver, just knowing you can’t even get on a bus anymore and be safe is terrifying."
