THE Canadian family of the wheelchair-bound man allegedly bashed with a metal bar in an unprovoked attack at a Sydney railway station is stunned by its brutality.

Shellan Proden, the mother of the victim, was horrified to learn that two teens had allegedly hit her 35-year-old son with metal bars before running off with his wheelchair in the 11pm assault on Tuesday.

"I can't believe a human being would do that to someone else," Ms Proden said."It's like a savage."

Relatives later told The Daily Telegraph the family was considering a mercy dash to Australia as the man recovers from his skull fracture at Sydney's Westmead Hospital.

"I just want him home," Ms Proden said."I just want him home and safe,

"I just want to see him."

She has asked that her son's name not be released.

He has been confined to a wheelchair since a snowmobile accident in 2000.In a tragic twist, his father was also killed in a snowmobile crash that year.

The attack, which has made headlines worldwide, happened at the Mt Druitt railway station on Tuesday.

Two youths allegedly bashed the man in the face, striking him with parts of his wheelchair as he lay helpless on the ground in a sickening assault that lasted up to five minutes.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with robbery and assault offences.

The man's Australian girlfriend, Kristin Sharrock, is wracked with guilt.

"He's been through a lot in his life and he doesn't deserve what's happened," she told a Canadian TV network.

"I'm sick to my stomach. He came out here for me and he ended up in hospital. And to think that he could have died."

The victim had been waiting at the station after going out to watch a Canadian band play in Sydney's suburbs.

Some members of the group, Doc Walker, were mates with the victim.

"The band is certainly saddened by the turn of events and we're still trying to find out more details ourselves," band manager Ron Kitchener said.

"The band are aware ... and are obviously concerned about his health."

A wheelchair-bound Canadian tourist is in a serious condition after an alleged unprovoked assault by two youths at a train station in Sydney's west last night, say police.

The 35-year-old Mosman man - who is undergoing surgery for head wounds today - was on the platform at  Mount Druitt train station when two teenagers approached him, police said.

They "verbally intimidated" him, so he tried to leave by a lift at the station, police said.

But one of the youths allegedly punched him in the face, knocking him out of his wheelchair.

The teenagers then allegedly stomped on the tourist, hitting him about the head and body with metal bars - one from the wheelchair, police said. They then tried to take his wheelchair and belongings.

Police allege the pair left but returned a few times to batter the man with the metal bars again before running from the station.

A NSW Ambulance spokesman said emergency services were called to the station about 11.15pm.

The victim was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition about 11.45pm and was operated on for a  depressed skull wound and cuts.

Mount Druitt Local Area Commmander Superintendent Wayne Cox told reporters this morning that the attack had taken between three to five minutes and had been captured on security video as well as being witnessed by a train station employee.

He described the attack as ‘‘a calculated assault’’.

‘‘It’s one of the most serious attacks I’ve seen,’’ Superintendent Cox said.

‘‘Particularly when you’re looking at a person that’s confined to a wheelchair.

‘‘It’s quite distressing to see these young people come back and assault him on a number of occasions.’’

Police said the man was a tourist, who is visiting Australia on a year-long visa, and had been living in Mosman on Sydney's lower north shore.

He was in Mount Druitt to watch friends play in a band.

A 16-year-old youth was charged with robbery and assault offences today and is due to face Parramatta’s Children Court.

Police are still looking for the second alleged attacker, who they say is aged between 12 and 15 and of Pacific Islander appearance. He was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, a logo on the front and black track-suit pants.

Kristin Sharrock from Mosman, said she met the victim, who does not want to be identified, at a Pearl Jam concert in Los Angeles last year.

They started dating and he came to Australia in November to visit her.

Ms Sharrock said the victim had a snowmobile accident in Canada about 10 years ago and had been confined to a wheelchair as a result.

‘‘He is a wonderful, kind, generous individual. He’s been through a lot in his life and he doesn’t deserve what’s happened.’’

Ms Sharrock said she was called at midnight by police and told what had happened.

‘‘I was disgusted. I can’t believe someone would attack anybody, let alone someone in a wheelchair.’’
Police said they were reviewing CCTV footage of the alleged assault and urged anyone who could assist to phone Mount Druitt police on 9675 0699 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
