A 20-year old Delhi boy became the 14th victim of assault in Australia in less than a month when he was punched and abused in Melbourne, leaving him with a fractured finger and a bloody nose.

A Deakin University student, Sunny Bajaj was attacked by two men in Melbourne's eastern suburb on Friday night as he was about to get into his car, he said.

"They came up to me and asked me for money, I told them I had none and then they attacked me," Bajaj said.

Bajaj was verbally abused and then punched by the two men, in their 20s – one white and the other apparently of African descent.

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, bruising to his back and a bloody nose. Bajaj, who was supposed to sit for an Accounts exam, had to miss out on it because of the broken finger.

As the police investigate the case, the latest victim of a series of violent attacks in Melbourne, however, refused to dub it as one with 'a racial motive' as the attackers’ first purpose was to rob him.

"I won't call it a racial attack as they first asked me money and when I told them that I don't have it they started bashing me and started calling me you f...Indians," he said, adding that the attackers were apparently drug addicts.
