MELBOURNE: An Indian was among 19 people injured today when a speeding SUV ran down pedestrians at a busy intersection in downtown Melbourne in what the Australian police said a “deliberate act”.
A white Suzuki Grand Vitara with two men inside drove into the crowd at the intersection just after 4.30 pm local time (0530 GMT), injuring 19 people including Rohit Kaul, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir.
Quoting eyewitnesses, the local media said that people were thrown through the air after being hit by the vehicle.
The attack was an “act of evil and an act of cowardice”, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
