In all, five women were attacked at Glenhuntly Railway station in the city's south-east about 11am on Sunday.

The three older women were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

They suffered "suspected fractures, possible hip fractures and head injuries," Sergeant Jason Venturoni said.

The other women, aged 25 and 36, suffered minor injuries.

The man charged, from Carnegie, allegedly tried to stab a woman's handbag before attacking the five women.
