Another Indian has been attacked in Australia, this time in Sydney, and Foreign Secretary Nirupama Roy has said that India is taking these attacks seriously and that these incidents have shaken the confidence of the Indian community in Australia.

The latest victim is a 28-year-old man who was at Coogee beach in Sydney when he was reportedly attacked by a group of Australian-born boys and girls. Other people at the beach allegedly did not help him. The victim said he believed it was racial attack.

He called the police, who took 40 minutes to reach him. The attackers reportedly admitted that they had punched and kicked the Indian, who is a permanent resident of Australia and has lived there for 11 years. The police have arrested one of the attackers.

The victim is  being taken for an internal medical check-up and x-rays.  He complains of extreme pain in his back, neck and head.
