1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: But we also understand the Northern Territory police have. Now

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: I believe I've made it an a race now in

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: relation to an aggravated robbery that occurred in Down on

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday night just before nine thirty. Now, one of the

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: victims in this crime, Sis joins me on the line.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Sez, good morning. Make what happened?

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't have my calendar day. I was on repair.

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: So I was walking in the mid street, so near

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: the Cathedrals church. I heard a person calling bro. Then

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: I was just ignoring and keep walking and I saw

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: this person comes to me. Then straight away I crossed

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: the street towards the pedil stration and this person came

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: to me and asked me do you have any smokes?

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: And I was very polite and I said sorry, I

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: don't smoke. Then he asked me do you have any money?

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Then I said sorry, I don't keep any cash. Then

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: after only like before three seconds, the only thing I

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: got is like a huge, like very powerful punch on

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: my head. Then I was almost fell down. Then I

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: realized that I couldn't keep up. This is like a

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: very lane like a very strong person. So I keep

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: running towards the petal station. Then I was so happy

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: because I saw there was two persons inside the petrol station,

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 3: a security guard and a person another person who's working

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: for this store. I managed to get to the store

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: and the door was closed and I keep banging on

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: the door and place open the door, please open the door.

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: But they was care to so they didn't open the door.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: And I was so unfortunate when this person came and

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: keep punching me.

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 3: Then I was keep on running around at the station

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: and I was begging to him, I don't do anything

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: to you, Why do you Why are you doing this?

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: Like I was screaming, and he just like he was

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: I can see from his face like he was with

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: very anger and like he's breathing very fast. I think

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure he was under under the influence of something.

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: And he just keep lunching me and I was screaming

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: and I couldn't get away. After like five rounds running

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: around the station, he got away. Then I managed to

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: get inside of the pedal servo.

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. See that is unbelievable.

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: It is it is. This is my living in Darwin

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: for six years. This is the first thing that I

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: have come across actually never happened to this in my

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: life before.

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I first want to ask you, and it's and you

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: probably not, but are you okay physically?

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: Are you okay physically? I was not okay, But now

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm getting recovered mentally, and I've been processing this like

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: that night I couldn't fall asleep until four o'clock in

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: the morning. Yeah, I'm getting better. I would say. I

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: was talking to many people like they've helped me with

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: the efforts and everything they could. Yeah. Yeah, oh seez.

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I Like, honestly, this is I feel really upset hearing

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: this because I cannot even imagine what that situation was

58
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: like for you.

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: You're begging for help, You're begging.

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: For him to stop doing what he's doing and trying

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: to run away and not able to get into that

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: service station.

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I understand if this is some sort of a

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: start with the argument or anything. This is just out

65
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: of noware like I literally do nothing and I was

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: very nice to him. I don't know, just feel like

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: a like a video game, like you can't just go

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: and punch punching people, Like what is this?

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Since were you the like were you the only

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: person that he targeted? That night.

71
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I heard from the police that someone's

72
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: got beaten and ended up in the hospital.

73
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: And and so after this had happened, what what did

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: you do? Did you call the police?

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: I called the police. I called the police straight away,

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: then get my statement. Then around like one o'clock in

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: the morning, I got a phone called the police came

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: to my home. They took all the information from me,

79
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: the statement, how did I feel about it and everything,

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: and that's it.

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: Look, I've got a pressure release in front of me

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: actually right now. And it says that just before nine

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: point thirty police were notified of a male that was

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: walking along Daily Straight and had been assaulted by an

85
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: unknown offender. It's alleged that an eighteen year old male

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: hit the victim in the back of the head, causing

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: that person to lose consciousness and stealing what was in

88
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: their pockets. Now, then I can only assume that you

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: are the second victim at nine point fifty four pm,

90
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: where the same offender approached a thirty year old man

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: along Daily Street before hitting them in the back of

92
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: the head when you refused to give him money.

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, Yes, I didn't even repuci, I said, I

94
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: don't keep any cash. I'm sorry. I was very nice

95
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: to him. Yeah, I don't know what else I could do.

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: Well, And this is the thing, right, everyone is like,

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: we're all what nobody's nasty when you don't give money

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: or when you get asked for something, it happens, you know.

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: I got to asked the other day as I was

100
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: walking into the service station by an older woman, and

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I said, look, I'm really sorry I don't actually have

102
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: any cash because so many of us don't, but to

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: be assaulted.

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: Then if this person had a weapon, I'm done. I

105
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: was so lucky that this person hadn't had a weapon,

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: and I'm gone, Like he don't care about anything.

107
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: See, how are you, like, how are you feeling right

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: now about you know?

109
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: About everything? About your safety?

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: In Darwin, it's where I've never felt this before, but

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: I think it's very unsafe. Like this is not a

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: suburban area, this is CBD and we have only two

113
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: main streets and this is one of the main street. Right,

114
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: so if this happens in the main street, this is

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: not like three o'clock in the morning. This is great

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: body fame, right, I don't feel it safe anymore, to

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: be honest.

118
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: No, Well, how can you after what's gone on? You know, like,

119
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: how can you feel safe after what's happened? Now? I

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: know obviously the police have made made an arrest. By

121
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the look of it, this person has been charged with

122
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: robbery and aggravated robbery. It reminded to appear in court

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: with the police. It sounds like were the pretty fast

124
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: to get there.

125
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: Yes, they took They didn't come to the incident because

126
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: I came home straight away. I took a uber and

127
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: I came home. But they were trying to call me,

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: but I was on sleep and trying to get into sleep.

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: Then I couldn't sleep. Then I woke up and I

130
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: saw the phone. I checked my phone. Then I had

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: a voicemail. Then only they called me back. They want

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: to get the statement.

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: Seth I.

134
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Do.

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe.

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Look, I wish I could say I can't believe this,

137
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: but unfortunately it's reaching a point in Darwin, across the

138
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Northern Territory where we are just hearing more and more

139
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: violent offending and then to think something like this is

140
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: totally unprovoked. You have done absolutely nothing wrong. You are

141
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to get into the service station

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and unable to. I'm horrified on your behalf. I'm so

143
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: sorry that you've had to endure this.

144
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, this is some unbelievable like this is

145
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: not just only safety, you know, Like even in like

146
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: I'm working as a salesperson and we have lost like

147
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: all half and half million dollar business because some people

148
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: canceling all their plans coming to Darwin. It's very unfortunate.

149
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: Well, and this is it, right.

150
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: We have to make sure that people are safe, not

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: only the people that live here, but tourists, everybody that

152
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: comes to Darwin, that comes to the Northern Territory. And

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: what we're saying right now is just not good enough.

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: Sira.

155
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: This is what we're expecting by paying thanks file Off.

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: The basic thing is safety, I mean exactly, that's one

157
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: of the basic things that we ask for.

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: You are spot on.
