Two Springvale South men have been charged after a man and a 15-year-old boy were bashed and robbed in separate incidents in the Springvale railway station precinct early last Saturday week.
Police say the boy was waiting for his father to pick him up from the station about 1am when he was approached by two men.
One allegedly demanded money and the other punched him several times in the face.
The boy’s father intervened and one man fled with the boy’s bag.
Soon after in Springvale Road, a 22-year-old man was approached by the same pair, assaulted and had his mobile phone stolen.
Police say the dog squad tracked two men down to Springvale Rise Primary School.
A 19-year-old man and 24-year-old man will face Melbourne Magistrates Court on assault, theft and robbery charges.
