A woman has teed off on Labor and the Greens after she was punched twice in the face by a man on a tram in Northcote yesterday.

Cassandra was helped by two men to perform a citizen’s arrest on the perpetrator after the violent encounter, but has been left annoyed by politicians’ policies that’s made it unsafe in the community.

“I’m pretty pissed off with all of these policies that the politicians, particularly the Greens and Labor, keep bringing in that’s made it completely unsafe to even walk and go around in broad daylight,” Cassandra told Tom Elliott.
