An enraged teenager who brutally bashed his grandmother with a metal pole after she took away his gaming controller has escaped conviction over the 'ferocious assault' . 

The woman was struck multiple times during the sickening assault carried out by the then 14-year-old boy at the Melbourne home they shared at the time in August 2022. 

The pole was also used by the teen to press down on his grandmother's throat during the attack. 

The Supreme Court of Victoria heard that boy first attacked his older sister on the morning of the assault after she tried to help her grandmother.

She was hit in the knee and wrist by the pole, but managed to escape and hid in a  bedroom closet, where she called police. 

The court heard that the grandmother was struck at least  on the head, causing a gash before falling to the ground.

The irate teen then landed a series of vicious blows to her back and chest as she laid helplessly on the ground, begging him to stop, the Herald Sun reported.  

'You were screaming at her to 'just stay down and die.' She was yelling out for you to please stop, but you continued to assault her,' Justice Amanda Fox said. 

'[She] was panicking; she could feel that her right wrist and ribs were broken and feared the pole would penetrate her chest.'

The court heard the assault occurred after the grandmother asked the teen to hand over the keys of another home in Melbourne that she owned at the time. 

She was forced to sell the property that the boy and his mother and sisters previously lived due to consecutive interest rate rises and invited them to live with her.

The court was told the grandmother confiscated the gaming console after the boy, who has high functioning autism spectrum disorder, refused to hand over the keys.

'At the time of the offending, you felt a profound sense of injustice and believed that your grandmother was wrong, which led to feelings of anger and retribution,' Justice Fox told the teen. 

It's understood the teen's disability was undiagnosed at the time.  

The court also heard that the teen was also struggling with the recent relocation to his grandmother's home at the time. 

The boy, who had previously been charged with attempted murder, gave a detailed account at the time to police at the scene about what happened during the attack. 

The court heard that he had expressed a lack of remorse over the attack and he 'hoped she died'. 

The boy had his charges downgraded to causing serious injury intentionally in circumstances of gross domestic violence and common assault.   

Justice Fox said the charges were downgraded due to his age and disability, despite continued limited remorse over his actions. 

He was placed on a 15-month youth supervision order, which requires him to receive mental health and disability support.
