Melbourne:
A 21-year-old Indian student, Nardeep Singh, was attacked by a group of five men at a car park in suburban Melbourne.
The attackers stopped him and demanded cigarettes and money, following which they attacked him.
The victim, who hails from Ludhiana, is a nursing student at the Chisholm Institute in Dandenong, in Melbourne's east.
At first they asked him for cigarettes, to which he replied that he was a non-smoker. Then the attackers asked him for money and when he refused, they slashed him across his chest with a knife.
Nardeep had come to Melbourne a month ago.
