A terrifying gang assault on Sydney train passengers has left two international students seriously injured and caused a media storm in China.
They were all charged with a number of robbery and assault offences.
Yesterday's attack came just days after two safety warnings from the Chinese embassy in Canberra for citizens travelling in Australia. Many Chinese students studying in Australia have expressed their fear over growing violence directed against them.
One of the victims of the attack, known as Xuan, suffered from a fractured nose and burns from a lit cigarette.
The international student from China, seeking a master's degree at the University of Technology, Sydney, was travelling with a friend from Central to Rockdale when the attack happened.
A translation from Xuan's blog on the Chinese social media site Weibo reads: “I really wish all of this is just a nightmare. However, the smell of blood in my mouth and body pains reminds me that this city is so dangerous.
“A gang of hooligans attacked us. Our noses are fractured and our bodies are covered in blood. My friend's cheekbone was crushed. They attacked us with glass and burnt us with lit cigarettes. My face is burnt and totally disfigured! Worst of all, I really hated their racist comments.
“They were calling us Asian dogs and pussies while they were beating us. When my friend tried to wipe blood from his nose, a teenaged girl stuffed my friend's mouth with her tampon removed from her pants.”
Another woman passenger, who was also targeted by the thieves, allegedly told the attackers to “rob them, they are Asian and they have got money”.
Xuan and his friend were treated at St George Hospital in Sydney's south-west.

其中一名學生更被匪徒中一名白人少女取出其褲子裏的衞生巾塞嘴,車上其他乘客及車務員則袖手旁觀。
令人氣憤的是,另一個被搶劫的白人女子居然對那群痞子說:搶他們,中國人有錢!作者: ssiufoo 時間: 2012-5-14 06:54 AM

It is terrifying to read the above post! I wonder if the Australian police would do something about this?
This is nothing personal, but seriously, I simply couldn't agree with bwk0317's comment! You are saying that the two victims were beaten up only because they are weak? And you are saying that they are disgraceful? So you think the two victims derseve this? Then what about if one day someone bigger and stronger than you come up.... does it mean they can beat you up to death as they wish?
