Indian student attacked and robbed in a Melbourne Park, Australia

A young Indian foreign student put in an induced coma after being attacked and robbed in a Melbourne park.

Once again crime strikes an Indian in Australia, hopefully this does no become another race issue.

Police are currently looking for eight men and a woman after a student - Manriajwinder Singh, 20 years old, was attacked in the early hours of yesterday morning.

It seems Mr Singh was kicked in the jaw which caused him to fall to the ground, where he was knocked unconscious, then kicked and attacked with a stick.

Look like someone helped him when a 23-year-old man was allegedly punched in the face, before another friend ran to get help.

Mobile phones were stolen.

Officers that this was just an opportunistic crime.

"its a cowardly attack on two peaceful young men," Senior Constable Foley said.

Police released CCTV footage of the attack which happened east of Princess Bridge at Birrarung Marr at around 4.15am. Probably not a good idea to walk around at that time in the morning though...

The Reservoir student, 20 years old, was taken to The Alfred hospital where he remains in an induced coma.

Very bad luck - as his brother Yadwinder Singh told the news crews that it was actually his first night out in the city. What a welcome.

The CTV footage shows men of African appearance in their late teens to early 20s, running away through Federation Square.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800333000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
