Racist attack by Asian Gang

From the HeraldSun on 5/8/2010 by Wayne Flower titled Man severely injured after savage bashing by up to 13 thugs in CBD.

UPDATE 11.20am: POLICE are hunting a ruthless gang of thugs who savagely bashed a man in Melbourne's CBD.
Mo, who wished to remain anonymous, was to attend a friend's birthday party last Saturday night when he and three friends were ambushed and bashed by 13 men outside a city car park.
The 20-year old Pascoe Vale man received horrendous facial injuries in the unprovoked attack, including two fractured eye sockets and a broken jaw.
The attack happened moments after the men parked their car inside a Wilson Parking lot on Collins St just after midnight on Sunday morning.
On exiting the car park on Flinders Lane, the group became involved in a verbal argument with two men, one of Asian appearance and one Caucasian, who were with four women of Asian appearance.
During the argument one of the women ran off towards Flinders Lane and returned a short time later with a group of 11 men - all of Asian appearance - who savagely bashed the group of friends.

Mo was king-hit twice in the face and knocked unconscious to the ground where he was repeatedly punched and kicked.
Two of his friends were also bashed, escaping with minor cuts to their heads and bodies.
Det-Sen Constable Andrew Ghidetti said it was fortunate no-one was killed in the attack.
"It was unfortunate the main victim received the injuries he did, but we're also very fortunate that the other two victims didn't receive more severe injuries or that weapons were used or it could have been a lot more serious,'' he said.
Det-Sen Constable Ghidetti said the attack did not appear to be racially motivated, but was unsure of the gang's motive.
"It was a fairly vicious attack and the victims were out numbered substantially and we don't know the reason why it occurred, whether it's random or there's some reason behind it,'' he said.
"There were some words spoken between the first males and the victims prior to the 11 other males being called in but we don't know what was said.''
The attack has devastated the young carpenter, who said he was now scared to go out in Melbourne's CBD at night.
"I was just shattered. We were just out to have a good night and celebrate a mate's birthday but didn't end up making it there,'' he said.
"I'm just scared now. I don't even know now if it's worth going into the city to have fun anymore. It's all random. We don't even know who the guys are, they don't know who we are and for them to do this ... it's brutal. Inhumane.''
Police have released CCTV footage of the attack in the hope someone might recognise the alleged offenders.
