UPDATE: Two men, aged 17 and 18, have been charged by Queensland Police over a racist attack on a Brisbane train.
The 17-year-old has been charged with two counts each of assault occasioning bodily harm and creating a nuisance on a railway and one count each of threatening violence, common assault and using a carriage service to menace or harass. The 18 year old has been charged with one count of creating a nuisance on a railway.
Both men are due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.
The attack took place at the start of the month, but video has only recently been uploaded to the internet – triggering outrage from across the country. The video depicts a sickening racist attack on a security guard named Joe at Indooroopilly Station, in Brisbane.
The vile outburst was triggered when the guard asked the man to take his feet off the train seat.
The passenger, who appears to be intoxicated, can be heard repeatedly calling the guard a “n***er” and a “black c***”.
The young man yelled, “Learn some f***ing English, because this is Australia, c***, I can’t understand you.”

Well done to Joe for remaining calm and not reacting through the whole thing. He is certainly a better man than me, because had I been there I would have knocked the arrogant little bastard out (apologies for the language)
Come on. Give him a slap on the wrist so it reinforces in him that his behaviour is alright. Then he can be on his way to abuse another person another day. The youth are wasted, no sense of accountability for their actions. Who goes about stealing and burning cars out? Cunts exactly like this. He probably has it under his belt too.
