Disabled girl beaten and tortured by teenagers in Australia

A teenage girl with a disability has allegedly been tortured for hours by three girls in a park in Australia, in a horrific attack described by senior police as the worst assault they've seen in 30 years.

During the two‑and‑a‑half‑hour attack, the 17‑year‑old was forced to inhale glass believed to be from her smashed iPhone, had her hands burnt on a hot barbecue before her head was repeatedly slammed into a wooden table at the park in the town of Moe, in regional Victoria.

The entire ordeal was captured on the mobile phone of one of the girls, who police allege tricked the victim into going to the park under the pretext of meeting her boyfriend in the picnic area in the early hours of Monday morning.

The three girls arrested for the attack are aged between 12 and 15 years old.

The victim's mother, who did want want to be identified, said her daughter was left traumatised by the attack and her face so badly bruised she was "unrecognisable".
