A “hero” who rushed to the aid of 14-year-old schoolboy who was being attacked by a group of teenagers inside Mernda train station was killed in a “savage attack” during evening peak hour, police say.

Homicide squad Detective Acting Inspector Nigel L’Estrange said police were still investigating the circumstances around the attack, but he said four offenders approached the schoolboy to try to rob him at about six in the evening on Friday.


“That ended up in a serious assault where they started physically assaulting him and pushing him onto the ground.”

He said several bystanders tried to step in to help.

“Our victim was one of those bystanders who stepped in and picked up the 14-year-old and walked him away, walked him outside the train station,” L’Estrange said.

He said the four teens followed them out of the station, then ambushed them, with “fists, kicking and also used weapons”. Police believe there was more than one weapon used and recovered a machete nearby.

“As a result of that, he received some fatal stab wounds.”


Paramedics found the 22-year-old local man unconscious, and despite attempts to revive him, he died at the scene. Police said the victim worked as a security guard, but he was not a public safety officer and was off-duty.

From our partners
L’Estrange called it a tragic situation, where a good Samaritan was trying to do the right thing.

“He intervened, tried to protect this 14-year-old school boy, hasn’t been aggressive, and as a result of his interaction, he’s now lost his life.”

“It’s cowardly, it’s shocking. It’s not something we want to see in our streets.”

He said the four male teens were known to police, but they weren’t out on bail. The new adult time for violent crime laws, which came into effect eight days ago, might mean the offenders face adult sentences and adult courts. Offences including recklessly causing injury and armed robbery are covered by the new laws.

A fair trial - a fair appeal - then :

And it cost him his life.

Where was Bobby the Sir Brave Knight with his long sword ⚔️?

Right To Bear Arms.

You see a machete - you start shooting.

It’s a public holiday weekend here in Melbourne (Moomba) and teens were caught by police with machetes.
I’m sad/angry about that 22 year old hero that paid for his life to save a 14 year old.
The guilty machete wielders are murderers.
What’s going to be done about that?????????
These khunts (and no apology for using that word mildly) are known to police, the police are fed up doing their job but they are continually undone.

These murderers are not respecting our laws, our people, our country.
What’s going to be done about that???????

Oh yeah that’s right, spend tax payers money on stupid machete bins!
What a f k n joke. What clowns we have making that decision.
Yeah, sure, those bins will keep those barbarians honest.
Great idea! Fantastic!
The score so far.
Good folk losing. Barbarians winning.

My condolences to that young caring brave man losing his life and to his family and friends 

Poor Aussie Criminals under British oppression since 1788.

Leftism (Media narrative) is saving the machete wielding Aussie Criminals from British POLICE oppression and Samaritan Security guards off duty protecting 14 year old kids.

A spear would be more effective for stubbing through the door.

Well… not far from where we refuse (couple towns away) a grandfather in Croydon was chopped up badly with machete wielding creeps while he was defending his family.
Family called the police but the response was none can be sent as no units are manned. Or something like that.
Now Mooroolbark police station is only open 3 days a week up to 10 pm.
I always thought it was bigger and better than that?
Then there’s that HUGE new building in Lilydale…. What happened there?
Oooohh kaaay I get it….don’t rely on police or help from them….looks like we will have to defend ourselves in any way possible …. got it

I remember when I lived in Melbourne. Collins St I think. Cops had surrounded a guy wielding a long sword 🗡️ and calling himself The Highlander.
A mentally ill guy and he was taken into custody I think. I wonder if he was Bobby from way back?

The irony now though. If I was living in Melbourne, I would be carrying a good sword under my trenchcoat for protection.

Funny. Melbourne has just been titled #1 most EXCITING CITY IN THE WORLD.
I reckon they paid $1m for its promo spot as these things are PAID FOR. An obvious offset to the $500m they paid for NOT hosting the Olympic Games

Ahh Melbourne. It lost its way the day they got rid of its tram conductors.

Not if they had a nice sword hanging from their waists.
They can say they use it to punch holes in the tickets.

Bobby. wrote on Mar 11^th, 2026 at 8:07pm:




Perhaps all politicians and judges should be MADE  to do 2 shifts a week as a tram conductor

They would have their security posse with them and charge passengers extra

Totally agree Aqua. They need people skills. A job on a farm, in a factory, serving customers... maybe work taxi for Aussie even

Btw. What would be your choice of sword to deal with Sudanese machete attackers?

When your life is in danger and you need immediate help the police are only a phone call and 10 kilometres away.
Generally one may not keep anything for the purpose of self defence but there are many things that may be kept for other legitimate purposes.

Spot on, a very formidable weapon, especially adapted for slashing.

I think to myself, (taking responsibility for my own safety) I know my place better than any would be intruder. I know hiding spots.
What would be the attraction here? My old 17 year old car?
My new big 85 inch tv is way to big to take and probably the only thing worth taking as we’ve lived here 34 years and furniture is basically mid century. Well apart from toaster and kettle, they get renewed when needed. Oh and my 5 year old Thermomix.
Anyone intruder would be very disappointed in my house 
Unless they like cooking then I have nice pots and cookbooks 
But basically I would hide. Not worth worrying about stuff compared to my life.

Re: carrying something in the car as a legal use of self defence, what about this little beauty, it’s a meat tenderiser that looks like a knuckle duster!

I know Frank goes on about Perth and WA but what the h3ll is wrong with Victoria and Victorians these days?

I got a "new" mobile number from Telstra last September and right after I put the SIM card in the phone and turned it on I started getting text messages and then a few calls for the number's previous owner.

Most of the texts were advertising which I've unsubscribed from and blocked but from the remainder (which were specifically for the previous owner) I've learned this much so far:

1. She lives in Victoria.

2. I know her full name and her daughter's name.

3. Child protection and drugs are involved. I had a text from a social worker meant for her in November and, just recently, a text from one of her dropkick and probably drugged friends (might even be the father of her daughter) who suggested she get an early night because - and I quote: "gotta do drug screens Wednesday Thursday Friday 3 days a week court order cozens (should be dozens, I guess?) child protection f wits".

I texted back and told the idiot she wasn't on this number anymore and he (I assume it's a he) replied "Oh sorry I didn't know" but he's still trying to call me (probably still looking for her, 5 times in the past 2 weeks since I told him, I have the number blocked but I can still see when he's tried to call. Edit: Last attempt was Monday afternoon).

4. I know her birthday - March 1st (because her mother sent her a Happy Birthday text that day). Sheesh, she didn't even tell her mother that she'd changed her number. 

5. I know she has a new number because two of the texts before Christmas were from a medical place in Victoria about some test results, I actually rang them and explained the situation and they said, "ah, she does have a new number, I'll update it on our computer". I didn't ask but they wouldn't have told me what it was, of course.

6. She owes people money (what a surprise). An online store for furniture and appliances with "buy now, pay later" were chasing her for $3,500 as of mid January. I emailed them (I couldn't reply to the text) and explained the situation, I didn't get a reply and I haven't heard from them since.

7. I get a text message today from a debt collector saying her overdue water bill for South East Water (Victoria) has been "escalated" to them (no, I am not going to contact them because they probably won't believe me and they will think I'm 'covering' for her). I'll just ignore and sit back with my bag of popcorn and see how long this goes on for. 

I have lots of numbers on block so far and the number is steadily increasing. lol. Edit: Actually, I've now decided to put all unknown, i.e. numbers not on my phone's contacts, on block for now.

I was kinda hoping that when I got her 2FA login codes for VicRoads in October and Facebook last month I might have received a text message saying "Hi, have you got my code?" but she's obviously too smart to fall for that because I would have replied "Yes, here's your code and, by the way, is this your new number?" which I would have 'helpfully' given to anyone who asked for her from then on.

Victoria and Victorians? I'd rather go to Queensland (even with aquascoot there). 

Oh, and apparently Telstra and the rest of the telcos are supposed to 'quarantine' numbers that people don't want anymore (or deliberately and quickly get rid of to avoid debt collectors in this case) for at least 6 months before they give the number to someone else.

However, I've heard of cases where numbers have been given to someone else in as little as 2 weeks which is supposed to be illegal. I'm guessing my "new" number was closer to the 2 weeks end of the scale.

And, lots of people with 'recycled' numbers are having this same problem.

I might have a little 'chat' with my nearest Telstra office the next time I'm at Belmont Forum.

What would be the excuse for having it

You could legitimately have it in the kitchen but having it in the car one day after purchase would probably see you charged for possession of a weapon.
The various Australian Governments do not condone self defence.

The attraction could be you, rapists have been known to rape females of any age, from babies to women over 90 years of age.
People who hide can be found.
As it is natural to fear fire, a fire extinguisher may be kept in any room of your house; in the garage or any out building and in/on your motor vehicles.

be.

Take taxi drivers of old. They always had some sort of metal rod or baton in their cabs. The cops all knew. A case of sure, but you'll be charged as well. Better to be charged than dead.
These days though, it's the Musso and currie drivers that assault the passengers

And if you have one in your vehicle or in the home and you are not engaged in the industry
it can be considered a weapon.
Reasonable excuse???

Hubby and son have an amazing array of mechanical tools/items in their vehicles as both are tradies 

Melbourne & Sydney used to be great and very different to each other.
Then Sydney got AFL and the Mardi Gras, Melbourne got NRL and the Casino and both became One Nation and have turned out crap since then.

You should be fine Captain Nemo. You live in a sub and only venture to port to get your Subway foot long.

There will be no cure for either Sydney or Melbourne Sophia and Nemo.
Both will just get worse and be prisons for the good, run by the bad.
