Locals have harshly criticized a group of teenagers accused of throwing objects at a family from a van at a popular tourist spot.
The brazen incident happened on Wednesday in a busy strip of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast.
A passing motorist who witnessed the incident expressed his anger as he posted photos to a community Facebook group of the group traveling in a gray Toyota Hilux in the beachside suburb.
The photos showed a young driver of the vehicle sitting next to another teenager in the front passenger seat wearing a blue t-shirt.
Two other teenagers were sitting in the back wearing branded T-shirts.
Red P plates displayed on the rear window of the ute.
They also shared a photo of a family on the trail comforting each other after the incident.
“If these are your children or you are the children who specifically attack people of various cultures by aggressively throwing things out of car windows, it’s your fault,” the motorist wrote.
An outraged motorist, who spotted the teenagers, uploaded images to Facebook of the group traveling in a gray Toyota Hilux (pictured) on a road in the beachside suburb.
Two other teenagers were seen sitting in the back seat of the ute (pictured) and a red P plate was displayed in the rear window of the vehicle.

Neighbors who read the publication were also outraged to learn what happened.
‘It’s disgusting to see that. How terrible for those people… I applaud them for taking a stand and hope the police react,” one wrote.
Another added: ‘Scum. “People like this should be publicly shamed,” another person wrote.
A third commented: “That’s terrible, people are happily enjoying their holiday and these morons show up.”

“Good for you for calling them out on their childish nonsense, they could cause serious harm,” wrote another.
Passing motorists claimed the teens attacked a family walking on the trail.
