The West Australian reports that an Aboriginal family, including a seven-year-old girl, were assaulted by two thugs armed with pepper spray. The attack began when the two men shouted racial epithets at the young girl, calling her a “little black c…”. They then used pepper spray to disable the girl’s parents before repeatedly punching and kicking them. Police have not ruled out the possibility that the incident is linked to other attacks on Aboriginal people in the area.
