- A teenage girl had to be treated in hospital

An irate Queensland father has spoken out after his teenage daughter was treated in hospital on Sunday afternoon following a violent alleged assault.
The girl was repeatedly hit in the head and forced to cower on the floor after being kicked and stomped during the alleged attack, leaving her with chipped teeth, a nosebleed, cuts and bruises.
Disgustingly, the attack was filmed and later posted to social media along with shocking comments about the alleged victim.
The teen was sitting alone at a table in Toowoomba’s Grand Central Shopping Center when she was reportedly assaulted by three other teenage girls.
Her father told 7News the group accused his daughter of saying “inappropriate things” about a relative of the girls.

The “extremely angry” father said he felt “sick in the stomach” that someone was filming the incident instead of helping his daughter.
“If it were your child, you’d want someone to help you,” he said. “I would have jumped in and at least got the girls out.”
Of all the people who were there at the time, only one woman tried to stop the alleged attack before she was also allegedly attacked by the group of girls.
Despite the severity of the alleged assault, the man said his daughter’s nose was “surprisingly not broken.”
His distraught daughter was in shock at what happened. “She sat there and wondered why,” the father said.

He has called for stronger action against bullying, saying, “Even adults can’t walk around without being harassed by these kids.”
A Queensland Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that a 19-year-old woman from South Toowoomba has been charged with the alleged assault.
She will face Toowoomba Magistrates Court on May 8.
The investigation is continuing and police are urging any witnesses to come forward.
