Hooligans at Kingsland Train Station (Monday evening 17 Oct 2022)
EDITED 25.10.2022:
Consider using overpass instead of tunnel to travel from Sandringham Rd to New North Rd so you don't get caught out once you're on the platform when the station is 'deserted'. At 7pm MONDAY night 17 October 2022, the place was empty except for 6 menacing drunk youths (14-17 yo?) at one of the stops, definitely tense situation, one had a screwdriver, as we walked past, one yelled something I won't repeat. Another guy could have used something to launch a small stone or bottle cap at the back of my head...!! Initially I thought it was a bottle because it hurt quite a bit, but because what hit the ground sounded metallic, it could not have been a bottle.
My partner called the police immediately, and he had to warn two other young ladies to use the bridge/overpass instead of tunnel. Anyway, the thugs scrambled by the time the police arrived and took a report. I am going to request CCTV footage from Auckland Transport.
UPDATE: Police caught one of the guys; 16yo, already has a record. He was referred to Youth Aid again, which I do think is better than him being locked up in prison - we don't want him learning from expert criminals!
TIP: If you, friends, loves ones travel solo, I recommend investing in a small alarm (14 db) for peace of mind:
