A TEENAGE mum whose breast was slashed open in a terrifying attack with a pair of scissors is furious her attacker was let off with just a warning.

The brutal brawl occurred at Coolangatta on July 13, just metres from the scene of a stabbing on Griffith Street on Monday afternoon.

In frightening mobile phone footage of the first incident, a 14-year-old girl can be heard screaming threats of further violence.

“I’ll stab you again. I’ll stab you in the head — don’t think I won’t,” she said.

The 15-year-old victim, who cannot be identified, suffered a 5cm gash to her left breast which required nine stitches.

The fight, believed to be over a stolen bag, started in Griffith St where the 14-year-old girl allegedly stole a pair of scissors from a barber shop before following the victim to a skate park.

The victim said her attacker was not charged and was let off with just an official caution.

Police would not confirm what punishment the teen received, but said she was dealt with under the Youth Justices Act.

District Child Protection and Investigation Unit boss Detective Inspector Mark White said the incident was not being treated as a stabbing.

“A formal complaint was made about an incident involving scissors at Coolangatta about 3.45pm on Monday, July 13,” he said.

“A 14-year-old has been dealt with under the Youth Justices Act in relation to an assault occasioning bodily harm with a weapon.”

The victim said she was angry the matter had not been taken seriously.

“It’s not right,” she said.

“Someone can’t just go around stabbing people and get away with it.

“I was told she was given a caution because of her age and history.

“I have been in fights before but nothing like this.

“You shouldn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the street.”

It is the first of two stabbing incidents in the beachside suburb in just one week but local police and retailers deny there is a youth crime problem in the area.

The barber involved in the first assault declined to be named but said he had worked in the suburb for 48 years and never heard of a stabbing.

Coolangatta acting officer-in-charge Inspector Greg Baade said there was no spike in youth crime but police foot patrols had been increased.

“These are two isolated incidents that aren’t connected that unfortunately happened seven days apart,” he said.

On Monday a 16-year-old girl was allegedly stabbed in the chest by a 17-year-old girl at a Griffith St bus stop.

The alleged offender was granted bail at Southport Court yesterday and will appear in the Children’s Court on August 19.
