POLICE have charged a 14-year-old girl with assaulting a passenger at the Beckenham train station on Monday night and stealing her backpack.
The 16-year-old victim was sitting on a seat waiting for a train about 7pm when she was approached by two girls who demanded her mobile phone and backpack.
She refused to hand them over and was punched twice to the face.
The alleged offender then grabbed the backpack from the ground and again punched the victim to the face. The attackers then ran along the platform and departed through a fire exit.
The young victim was not seriously hurt.
Police viewed TV security footage of the incident and on Wednesday arrested the alleged offender at Perth Railway Station as she got off a train from Fremantle.
The 14-year-old was charged with aggravated robbery and stealing (allegedly committed at the Maddington train station during May 2007).
She will appear before the Perth Children’s Court on Monday.

Bandit threatens worker with screwdriver
as posted on TheWest
A bandit terrorised a shop assistant with a screwdriver at a King Kong store on Albany Highway yesterday afternoon.
Police said the man entered the Gosnells store about 5pm, browsed the isles and left before returning a few minutes later, when he produced a screwdriver from his pants and told a shop assistant to fill up a bag with money.
The shop assistant refused, and the bandit threatened him with the screwdriver before reaching across the counter and filling the bag with cash.
Witnesses say they saw the man, who is described as Aboriginal, about 180cm tall with short black hair and wearing a dark blue basketball shirt with white writing, travel down Albany Highway towards Perth.
