Indian beaten up on train

Melbourne: An Indian student was beaten up and robbed by a group of teenagers in a moving train here, a media report said on Monday. “They asked me for cigarettes. I said I had none, then they were saying ‘kiss my foot’ and started kicking me and punching me,” Sourabh Sharma, 21, was quoted as saying.

“I was crying out for help but nobody helped me. They punched me in the teeth and kept kicking me. I said take my watch, take my wallet, but there were six of them and they kept beating me.” — PTI
