Melbourne, Nov. 29: In yet another attack on an Indian in Australia, a 31-year old cookery student was stabbed in the stomach by two men on his way home from work in a South Yarra bar early this month.
The student, who did not want to be named, underwent an emergency surgery and had a 26-stitches on his punctured bowel after the attack on November 5.
He said the two men approached him in Lovers Walk South around 11.10 pm as he walked to a railway station. They asked him for money; when he said he had none, he was punched and assaulted.
“One punched me in the stomach, scolded me and said dirty words. I collected some courage and ran away.”
“It wasn’t until he reached South Yarra rail station that he realised he was bleeding and that he’d been stabbed. He hailed a taxi, which took him to The Alfred hospital where he was operated on immediately.
