Saurabh Anand, a 33-year-old Indian-origin man, was brutally attacked by five teenagers outside a Melbourne shopping centre. He suffered multiple stab wounds, a fractured spine, and nearly lost his hand, which was reattached after emergency surgery. The teens ambushed him on July 19 with a machete, inflicting life-threatening injuries. Police have arrested four suspects; two were released on bail, prompting Anand to call for justice and tougher measures. The attack highlights a surge in youth violence in Victoria, where machete-related crimes are rising. A full ban on machetes takes effect in the state from 1 September amid growing public concern.
