Australia: Another Indian attacked, abused

Press Trust Of India

Melbourne: There seems no stopping to the list of violent racist attacks in Australia as yet another Indian student was bashed in Melbourne's eastern suburb.

The 20-year-old Sunny Bajaj was verbally abused and then punched by two men as he was about to get into his car in Boronia on Friday night, reported The Age.

"They came up to me and asked me for money, I told them I had none and then they attacked me," Bajaj, a student of Deakin University, was quoted in the newspaper.

The student, who hails from New Delhi, said they slammed his car door and punched him in head and stomach and then racially abused him.

"They called me a ****ing Indian c****. Why would they do that? I said nothing to them," Bajaj said adding he suffered a fractured finger, bruises on his back and a bloody nose.

He added saying the attackers were in their 20s. One was white, while the other appeared to be of African descent.

In less than a month, 14 Indians have been attacked in Australia, in what are being perceived as race crimes.
