## Summary

Taylah Farrugia, 20, has pleaded guilty to affray and two counts of assault over a group attack on a Norwegian tourist at St Kilda pier. The tourist had been falsely accused of photographing women and children, and the case has drawn attention to the severe assault that followed and the role of bystanders who intervened.

The attack happened on 18 December last year, when Farrugia was 19, and involved her and three males. The 34-year-old tourist suffered facial injuries and multiple fractures; attackers took his phone and threw it and one of his shoes into the sea. A child involved received a six-month probation order without conviction, while two men are still due to face court.
