Fear City.

It is a disturbing moniker handed to Perth in 2020 after a spate of bloody violence swept through the city.

Two years on and it is hard to argue that it is any less deserving of the name.

Footage of a brutal attack in the early hours of Sunday morning shows the horrifying dangers lurking around the corner in Northbridge, when the sun goes down.

The fact a senior police officer described the sickening assault as the “most ferocious and vicious” he’s seen in a 21-year career, shows the situation is not improving.

Sunrise correspondent Tina Altieri joins the show from the scene.
