TWO people have been charged over an assault on a group of US sailors in which one was allegedly stabbed and slashed in the face with a pair of scissors. West Australian police allege a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old woman approached the group, who were on shore leave, outside the Perth train station at about 1am on July 5.

A fight erupted and a female sailor was left with facial injuries, while a male sailor required surgery for the wounds he received when he was attacked with the scissors.

Police said a 17-year-old boy from the Perth suburb of High Wycombe is to appear in Perth Children's Court on Monday, charged with unlawful wounding.

The story certainly suggests that these clowns aren't exactly model citizens (the theft charges).If that's true then this seems more likely to be a case of two punks doing what punks do best rather than drunken sailors getting what they deserved or,worse still,something connected to politics.

Punks can be found everywhere...including in civilized countries like Australia,the US,the UK,etc.

Hopefully the sailors didn't suffer any lasting harm.

Thanks for the update. “unlawful wounding” ? WTF is that? It sounds like the perps jumped the unsuspecting sailors, and tried to do all the damage they could until the were challenged. Hopefully these punks will be punished appropriately and not let off the hook. If you hear how this turns out, let us know.
