Two women who were subject to vile homophobic abuse when they stepped in to protect a man who was being punched, kicked and stomped on by Central Coast teenager Zayne Taki have spoken out about the violence they endured and is all too common in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings in Wollongong.
Zayne Taki was sentenced at Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday to up to 30 months behind bars for what Magistrate Michael Stoddart described as a "appalling, brutal and cowardly" act that occurred early in the morning of March 12, 2023.
