Teens cruel prank on disabled woman

Four teenage boys have been arrested after they launched an attack on a disabled woman, covering her in flour and eggs — and then hung about to take a sick photo.

A picture posted on social media appears to show the youths posing behind the woman as she sits on a park bench, cowering, having been completely covered in the mixture.

The post sparked appeals to name and shame those who carried out at the attack in Suffolk, England on Friday at around 5.30pm.

Police said two 17-year-olds and two 15-year-olds were arrested in connection with the incident but have been released on bail.

While four youths have been detained, the identity of the photographer is not known or if they took part in the attack.

The victim, a woman in her 40s, was assaulted by a group of teenagers who threw flour and eggs over her after a verbal altercation, said the police.

The woman was severely distressed but not physically injured, they said.

People said the woman is disabled in Facebook posts.

Social media star Robin Armstrong posted the image to his 750,000 followers with a lengthy video rant in which he says he wants to “lead the way” in finding the youths.

“Never felt so sick for looking at something so shameful. What sort of life skills have these scumbags been taught to think this was funny in the first place one person said.

Another added: “Literally can’t believe my eyes, how disgusting! There are no words! Pure evil absolute evil what sort of humans do that to someone with disabilities!”

Maccas ‘Aussie’ burger ridiculed online

McDonald’s Canada has introduced a new “Aussie BBQ and Egg” burger to their range, but people aren’t so impressed with their interpretation of what makes a burger Australian.

The burger was launched this month as part of the chain’s “World Taste Tour” promotion, but people were quick to notice that it lacked pretty much all the elements of a classic Australian burger.

There is no beetroot or pineapple — instead the burger is made up of 100 per cent Canadian beef, eggs, beet chips, processed cheese, lettuce and barbecue sauce.

Social media users questioned McDonald’s about how the burger was “Aussie” but were met with the same response about the ingredients used to make it.

The chain’s Twitter post soon made it over to Reddit where users were quick to poke fun at the burger.

“Nothing more Australian than Canadian beef, freshly cracked eggs, crispy beet chips, processed cheese, and a brioche bun,” one user said.

“If beetroot juice doesn’t drip from your elbows while eating, it’s not an Aussie burger,” another wrote.

Sydney train network faces delay backlash

All eyes will be on Sydney’s train network as it attempts to handle the first commute since scheduled upgrades triggered massive delays and a customer backlash over the weekend.

Sydney Trains, on Friday, warned “pretty significant trackwork” including an upgrade to an ageing signalling system, would affect the City Circle line during Saturday and Sunday.

But assurances from the NSW government agency that staff and buses would ease the pain fell on deaf ears as angry commuters began reporting multiple cancelled trains and long delays.

Some reported being late to work by two or three hours while others said they were “breaking up” with trains and felt forced to add more cars to the congested roads.

Sydney Trains chief executive Howard Collins said he’d be on deck on Monday morning to monitor any knock-on effects from the weekend’s chaos.

He called on travellers to check information about Sydney’s trains on Monday and asked them to understand delays were not the fault of rail staff and station employees.
