A racist attack against Asians took place in Sydney. Lewis (Shai Jevan Lewis), 25, was accused of carrying out a series of brutal random attacks on Asian-American passers-by in (Randwick), East Sydney, on Thursday night for racism.

As he walked to (Belmore Road) Belmo Road, Lewis allegedly punched a 30-year-old man in the face and then punched and kicked a 70-year-old man, injuring the man`s face.

A man who tried to interfere with Lewis`s atrocities was hit several times in the face, causing facial injuries.

A woman who was beaten in the incident told television on Friday about her panic when she was attacked.

Then the young man walked towards her. The woman didn`t expect the youth to attack herself, but when she wanted to run away, the young man attacked her from behind, hit her to the ground and kicked her continuously.
The woman said, "he hit me in the face first. I remember him putting his knee against me, and then I fell down. I covered my head and curled up my body as much as I could. I couldn`t even yell for help. I had to scream when he kicked me. "
Others came up to help her, and two women from a nearby barbershop took her to the store for safety. And in the shop she could hear the young men cursing the Chinese outside.
