Charges laid over Perth tourist attack TWO people have been charged over a gang attack on four tourists in Perth, including a Swedish couple who had arrived in the city hours earlier. Two couples were assaulted by a gang of eight near the Cultural Centre at Northbridge at 9.30pm (WST) on Monday. A 35-year-old man and 22-year-old woman, from Sweden, were taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital for treatment for head and facial injuries, while a 31-year-old woman and 27-year-old man, from New Zealand, were treated for minor injuries at the scene. Police have since charged a 31-year-old man with assault occasioning bodily harm, acts or omissions causing bodily harm and stealing. A 25-year-old woman has been charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. Both accused, who are of no fixed address, were refused bail and will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday. A 27-year-old woman was questioned by police, but released without charge.
