Shocking footage shows ‘black gang members’ in attacks on pedestrians

Organised attacks taking place in a suburban Melbourne have outraged a father-of-two who is determined to bring the attackers to justice.
Clayton resident Giulio said he is fed up with unprovoked assaults and home invasions that he claimed are being committed by Melbourne's Apex gang.
He says the attacks are happening frequently in a laneway outside his home often used by Monash Hospital workers and Monash University students.
In a video taken from security cameras at his home, a group of men can be seen leaning on a fence-line, apparently keeping an eye on people walking along the path.
Footage shows some of men against the fence running toward a pedestrian on the path and attacking them to the ground, as others flee.
'Within 10 seconds it was all over and they all scattered,' Giulio told A Current Affair, 9 News reported.
Upon witnessing the assault he was filled with anger he decided to pursue one of the thugs down the street.
'I'm too old to chase, so I decided to come back, jump in the car and chase one of them.'
'I caught up to him and I said, 'if you don't f*****g stop, I am going to run you over.'
He was able to grab a 15-year-old alleged thief, who claimed he was being abused and threatened to sue Giulio, until police arrived.
Giulio believes the Apex gang are responsible for the chaos on his street and it's not the first time he has had issues with the group.
Last year his home was broken into causing damages in almost $30,000.
Security cameras filmed a crook knocking on the front door to his home. Once it was discovered no one was home, another thief went around the back and threw a brick through a glass door.
He has now been forced to barricade his home.
After reviewing the footage of the group attacking a man in the laneway Giulio is vowing to warn others about the potential dangers of the walk-through by posting signs and talking to surrounding residents.
Charlie Bezzina, a retired homicide detective, said sickening crimes like this match offenses the Apex gang are responsible for.
'We know that Apex gangs play a major role, but it is up to the courts to send a message that it won't not be tolerated in the community. It is up to the courts to send a message and I think that is where the breakdown is,' he said.
