Adelaide teen’s fears after brutal bus assault. “They came up to me saying, ‘Give us your shoes’ and I’m like, ‘Am I actually being jumped right now?’ and then he hit me in the face,” the teenager said. “I was scared, I didn’t know what to do because of my disabilities. I didn’t know what was happening.” The 18-year-old said no other passenger nor the bus driver intervened to stop the assault. “My friends were screaming to get them off me, but they didn’t ,” he said.
