Melbourne, Mar 24 (ANI): Four boys in Australia, in the ages of 11,12,13 and 14, have been charged with sexual assault against women and other offences over a two-day period.

Police claim that on March 9 the boys surrounded a 41-year-old woman as she walked along South Street in Bull Creek, Perth, and sexually assaulted her, the Herald Sun reported.

When the woman screamed, the boys ran off towards the Murdoch train station.

It is also alleged two of the boys stole two scooters from the Murdoch and Warnbro train stations.

The 11-year-old Warnbro boy has been charged with aggravated indecent assault, aggravated sexual penetration without consent and stealing a motor vehicle.
