Police in Melbourne are searching for a group of individuals suspected of attacking a young woman on a motorcycle. The incident occurred when the gang reportedly forced the rider off her bike, after which she was subjected to a physical assault.

During the confrontation, officers say the woman was tasered by the assailants. The use of a taser added a further element of danger to the already violent encounter, according to police statements.

The victim, identified as a female motorcyclist, sustained injuries from both the fall and the subsequent assault. She received medical attention at a local hospital, where she was treated for bruising and other non‑life‑threatening injuries.

Melbourne police have launched an investigation and are actively seeking members of the gang involved. Detectives have appealed to the public for information that could lead to arrests, emphasizing the seriousness of the attack.

Authorities have not released details about the motive behind the assault or the number of individuals involved. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have indicated that further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
