Footage appears to show a man on all fours as shouting and screaming can be heard around him. A short time later a second man can be seen falling head first on to the tram tracks and writhing in pain.
He can be seen laying on the tram tracks for some time before walking off in the opposite direction to the group of youngsters. It's not clear if he was injured.
The woman first posted the clip on Facebook, saying: "Finish work and get off the tram to this! First old man got punched to the ground and the other thrown off, they’re literally kids and was laughing about it! Hope someone knows them and shows their families.
