The skirmish took place in a back alleyway of north Melbourne suburb Broadmeadows, showed footage shared on TikTok on Sunday
The video shows the slim woman with a short haircut and glasses stroll up to three young males who scaled a property in a laneway.
As she held up her bat threateningly, two of the three boys jumped off a low roof and sprinted away with a large black backpack, while a third remained sitting on the building, smoking.
A patronising rendition of ‘Savage Love’ with the ‘eshay brah’ lyrics played as a soundtrack to the clip.
Eshay is Aussie slang for teenagers who prowl in packs, speak their own coded language and strut around in designer sportswear such as Nike TNs and Adidas tracksuits with bumbags slung over one shoulder.
Eshays are said to have spread from Sydney’s inner-city graffiti scene in the 1980s through Housing Commission estates and out into the suburbs.
