Australia: Gang of five attack Indian cabbie in Hobart

Hobart, Mar 27 (IBNS): Following the assault of a Keralite Catholic Priest in Australia a week ago, a second Keralite faced the same in Hobart on Saturday, reports said.

Limux Joy, a cab driver who resides in Hobart in Tasmania, was reportedly punched in the face several times by a gang of five, including a woman.

The attack has been viewed as a race crime.

The Hindu quoted the victim as saying that they shouted racial slurs at him.

"You bloody Indian b.. they yelled and continued to punch me on my face,' he said.

Speaking about his plight, Joy said that he had faced a similar incident a few weeks ago, where a school student spat on his face.

Joy hails from Meenadom in Kottayam, Kerala.
