Melbourne: Two people, including a teenage boy, have been charged in connection with the robbery and assault of an Indian national in Brisbane, the first attack against the community in Australia's Queensland province this year.
The 25-year-old Indian, whose name was not revealed, was using a telephone box in Macgregor in Brisbane's south on Thursday night when he was attacked and punched to the side of the head and robbed of his wallet.
Police have charged a 15-year-old boy and a 20-year-old youth "with actual violence" while in company over the incident, AAP reported today.
Another Indian, a cabbie, was also attacked in Brisbane on Friday after an argument broke out between him and two men in Carindale in Brisbane's southeast. The men punched the driver in the face several times and smashed the car's windscreen.
Police said the two attacks, the first against Indians in Queensland this year, were not linked and were not racially motivated.
Nitin Garg, a 21-year-old student who was stabbed to death here by unidentified assailants, was the first victim of such attacks this year.
