Jasmine Holub, 10, was left traumatised and lined in bruises after she was allegedly attacked exterior the Ellenbrook McDonald’s along with her cousin yesterday.
“I was thinking of just running but I couldn’t because she already grabbed hold of me,” she mentioned.
“I couldn’t really do anything but I tried to protect my head.
The fifth grader said out of nowhere she was pushed, grabbed and punched by a stranger and their e-scooter was stolen.
“She simply got here as much as me and mentioned, ‘Why are you me?’ and calling me names,” she said.
The incident was reported to Ellenbrook Police who said the woman fled the scene and was yet to be found.
Police released photos of two alleged attackers and urged anyone who saw what happened to call Crime Stoppers.
Mother Jessica Lee Weston was infuriated no one stopped to help the girls.
“Thank god there isn’t any damaged bones or fractures however now the emotional and psychological state of them goes to affect them for a very long time,” she said.
“Children should not must undergo that once they go to McDonald’s.
“It should be a safe place, especially for school holidays.
“It’s very upsetting, it makes you indignant, makes you sick to your abdomen.”
McDonalds told 9News safety was a top priority and it didn’t tolerate anti-social behaviour.
The pair were recovering at home together.
