澳大利亚墨尔本西部一家零售店发生暴力事件，一名员工在试图阻止抢劫时遭到攻击。[2]事件发生于周六下午2点后，地点在Sunshine区Hampshire Road的零售店。[2]四名青少年在店内进行盗窃，与试图制止他们的一名60岁男性员工发生冲突。[2]这名员工伤势严重，已被送往医院，目前处于危急状态。[2]
被逮捕的四名青少年分别为两名男孩（13岁和15岁）和两名女孩（14岁和15岁），他们将接受侦探审讯。[2]针对此类事件，维多利亚州政府去年已通过立法，将袭击或威胁酒店和零售业员工的刑罚提高至最高五年。[2]新任维多利亚州州长本·卡罗尔本周宣布推出工作场所保护令，进一步加强对零售等行业员工的保护。[2]
A 60-year-old retail employee was seriously injured while attempting to stop a theft at a store in Melbourne's western suburbs [2]. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon after 2 p.m. at a shop on Hampshire Road in Sunshine [2].
Four teenagers were arrested in connection with the attack [2]. Those detained include two boys aged 13 and 15, and two girls aged 14 and 15 [2]. The employee was hospitalized in critical condition following the confrontation [2], and the arrested teenagers face detective interviews [2].
The incident comes as Victoria's government has strengthened protections for service workers [2]. Last year, legislation was passed increasing maximum penalties to five years imprisonment for assaults or threats against hospitality and retail staff [2]. This week, newly appointed Victorian Premier Ben Carroll announced the introduction of workplace protection orders [2].
