Man with autism ‘with a passion for trains’ punched and kicked on Melbourne carriage

A young man with autism is suffering severe mental stress after being told to “get off the f****** train”, then kicked and punched inMarcus, 31, boarded the train at Ringwood about 7.30am on September 23, planning to take photos of new level crossing removals - which is one of his passions.

As it was a public holiday, the train carriage was quiet with just one other man sitting behind Marcus.“Between Ringwood to Ringwood East, this person yelled out to Marcus: ‘Get off the f****** train’,” Marcus’ mother Elizabeth said on Wednesday. Marcus told the man to stay away but he instead dragged him off his seat and pushed him to the ground and began to kick and punch him.At Ringwood East station, the offender bundled Marcus off the carriage. Marcus, unable to find help there, boarded another train to Ringwood and sought help from the staff.“They rang Ringwood police and one of the staff walked him to the police station and paramedics checked him out.

On Wednesday, police released photos of a man they are looking for over the assault. He boarded the train at Prahran, got off at Ringwood and then boarded a separate train to Lilydale, where the assault happened.Elizabeth and police hope someone can help identify the man.“We’ve put in 20 years of time, energy and resources to make sure going out in the community and public transport is safe for him. This issue has happened, which has set us back.

The man wanted by police has been described as Caucasian in appearance, aged in his mid-30s with a bald head. He was wearing a black cap with a white motif, black jumper, puffer vest and tracksuit pants and black runners.Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.If you’d like to view this content, please adjust your

Lowlife. And typical, he's got a smoke in his mouth as soon as he gets off the train.

What is wrong with people? Also, why couldn’t a bashed person get help at a train station? All these upgrades and no staff.
