Shocking footage of a group of teenagers attacking another young man on a notorious Gold Coast train line has emerged on social media, causing outrage among members of the public.
The Gold Coast Bulletin reports the video shows a group of teenage boys dressed in school uniforms repeatedly punching and kicking another teen at Coomera train station.
The footage captures the teens cornering the victim into a fence where they relentlessly punch him before pinning him to the ground near a wall where they repeatedly kick him.
The Gold Coast Bulletin reports the video, posted on Wednesday afternoon, was furiously captioned: “Just now at the Coomera train station. This kid … is out gang-bashing another poor victim who had no hope at all.”
“Footage all over the internet already,” it continued.
“Our kids are so scared to go to school because of these dangerous children. Someone needs to stop this child; he may kill someone.
“If you are the parent of this kid, do something about it and save someone from getting life-threatening injuries from his disgusting behaviour.”

Many commenters in the forums it was posted were disgusted by the footage.
“This is so feral and all the little cheap shots,” one person wrote.
Queensland Police were reportedly called to the disturbance involving a group of people near Railway Road at Coomera around 3.20pm on Wednesday.
The incident had finished by the time they arrived, and no formal complaints were made.
A QPS spokeswoman told the Gold Coast Bulletin they were looking into the videos circulating online.
Four boys aged 13 between 16 were reportedly cautioned for the fracas.
Queensland Rail has regular security patrols operating between Helensvale, Coomera, and Nerang stations.
