In the footage, approximately eight teenagers are seen hurling both stools and chairs towards another boy as they are also heard yelling and swearing at the boy. The boy targeted is seen fleeting away from the bigger group towards nearby escalators.
The events took place in the shopping centre’s food court on level two at around 5.30 Wednesday evening.
During the course of the incident seen in the footage online, it is also seen that some chairs are even seen falling down towards the lower levels in the shopping centre, putting shoppers on the lower levels in danger.
At least two of the teenagers in the group are seen riding around on bikes inside the shopping centre.
A nearby woman getting on the escalator also had a chair thrown after her, striking her in the back as she only nearly escaped the group.
