A Tarneit-based family has been left in shock after a gang attacked their home on Christmas eve.
A group of teenagers bashed a father of two in his driveway at his Tarneit home. The young men used a metal tool and an umbrella to beat the man in front of his wife and children.
“I cannot understand what happened. It’s very suddenly…,” (sic) the man told 9News.
“It’s really very scary. We are not feeling safe,” said his wife.
