Melbourne: After a long lull in the racial attacks in Victoria, there has been another suspected racial attack on an Indian national on Sunday. A 21-year-old man was reportedly brutally beaten up by four teenagers on bikes.
The victim was apparently even asked if he was an Indian before being attacked. He has told the police that his attackers looked to be not more than 15-16 years old.
