Security guards can be seen intervening as the chaos unfolds, with terrified shoppers watching on as more than a dozen police officers rushed to the scene.

One store owner told 7NEWS they were forced to barricade customers inside, including a mother and her baby, as the violent confrontation continued.

“It is disgraceful to see children of such tender ages involved in these serious incidents,” the allegedly attacked man said in an exclusive statement to 7NEWS.

“We believe there is a critical gap in accountability.”

The victim is demanding tougher action from the courts and wants accountability extended to the parents of the young offenders, highlighting growing concerns about juvenile crime.
