Ms Geschmay alleges she was followed by the gang of three and punched in the back of her head by one of the girls.
‘They were following behind me, towards the car, kicking my bag, which had all my electronics,’ she said.
‘But once I got in the car, one of the girls started punching me in the back of my head.
‘I won’t be able to use the train station by myself anymore because anything could happen to me.
‘You don’t think that it’s going to be younger people that would do stuff like that.’
A spokesperson confirmed police were investigating an alleged assault at Seaford train station at about 7pm on Tuesday evening.
Police will investigate if the two incidents were linked.
Anyone with any information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
