Teen attackers charged

Two Australian teenagers have been charged in a brutal attack in a Sydney train station on a Canadian tourist in a wheelchair.

The 35-year-old man was attacked in a lift at the Mount Druitt station in an apparent robbery attempt.

Police said he was punched in the face, kicked and struck repeatedly on the head with a metal bar ripped off the wheelchair, causing a skull wound and cuts.

The teenagers, aged 15 and 16, were denied bail and charged with assault and robbery.
