Balraj Singh was severely injured on face and his nose was broken in an attack by the two men, who had boarded his cab at the weekend, Australian media reported. Last month, a 23-year-old Indian student taxi driver Jalvinder Singh was brutally stabbed and left bleeding on the roadside in Melbourne.
Parish Charles was remanded to custody on Wednesday on seven charges by the Melbourne Magistrates Court over the stabbing of Jalvinder Singh, 23, who continues to be in "critical condition" and is in "induced coma". Charles' lawyer Rob Melasecca told the court his client had contracted HIV 20 years ago and had recently begun taking new medication. He said the accused had no memory of Tuesday morning's events.
