据悉，曹中军今年41岁，是维大的研究员，帮助海外留学生学习。22日晚上10点45分受到攻击时，他距离住家只有500米的距离。一群少年在Empire街将他围住，进行殴打。袭击发生后，曹中军被送往皇家墨尔本医院救治，他的头部遭到严重创伤

昨日报道：

日前在富士贵（FOOTSCRAY）区遇袭重伤的男子，警方已证实其身份，他是来自中国的学者曹忠俊（ZHONGJUN CAO，译音），是维多利亚（VICTORIA）大学的研究员，目前仍在皇家墨尔本医院（RMH）留医，需依靠仪器维持生命。

41岁的曹忠俊于2001来澳洲，是一名哲学博士，已取得永久居民身份，已婚及育有一名女儿，他在富士贵区巴拉勒（BALLARAT）道的维多利亚大学校园工作，他的遇袭地点距离家门只有约五百米，警方估计他当时正步行回家。在案发后，他的妻儿日夜守在病榻旁，希望他能渡过危险期。

案发在周二晚上约10时45分，凶徒是七名青少年，警方形容，曹忠俊是一名守法的公民，但凶徒行劫曹忠俊后，对手无寸铁的他拳打脚踼，把他围殴至重伤。警方日前在案发现场附近，逐家逐户查问，希望找到更多线索及目击证人。

警方再次呼吁两名女子及一名男子尽快与警方联络，两名女子在案发当晚约十时，在距离现场约250米外的麦当奴快餐店门外，被一群青年人挟持下离开，一名男子在当晚约十一时，在富士贵区的ESSEX街及GORDON街口的公众电话亭致电000报警，指一群青年在BALLARAT道及GORDON街的商店外闹事。警方相信，他们所遇见的那群青年，正是袭击曹忠俊的凶徒。

A MAN who is clinging to life after being bashed by youths on a suburban street is a loving husband and father with a doctorate in philosophy.

Dr Zhongjun Cao, 41, was bashed by up to seven youths on Tuesday night while walking home from Victoria University in Ballarat Rd, Footscray.

Dr Cao is the research fellow at the university's post compulsory education centre.

He helps overseas students with their studies.

He was about 500m from home when the group of youths surrounded and attacked him in Empire St about 10.45pm.

Homicide detectives have appealed for those attackers who played lesser roles to contact them.

Chinese-born Dr Cao, who was last night on life support in Royal Melbourne Hospital, is married with a teenage daughter.

He has been living in Australia since 2001 and is a permanent resident.

Two locals saw the slightly built Dr Cao punched to the ground and then kicked mercilessly by the youths.

His attackers have been described as being of different ethnic appearances.

Detectives have described the bashing as an unprovoked and unwarranted attack on a defenceless victim.

"We have an educated man who, we believe, was heading home from a day at university when he was attacked," Acting Det Sen-Sgt Wayne Woltsche, of the homicide squad, told the Herald Sun yesterday.

"He's a law-abiding citizen who was just going about his business.

"This was a totally unprovoked and unnecessary act of violence.

"There was just no reason to attack him."

Police believe the attack could have been a robbery gone wrong.

Investigators yesterday doorknocked the area in the search for more witnesses.

They are also checking with local police for any standout suspects.

Detectives have repeated their call for two young women who spoke to a group of youths at a nearby McDonald's on Tuesday night to contact Crime Stoppers.

The women were in a dark blue Mitsubishi Lancer with a rear P-plate when a group of youths approached them as they used the restaurant drive-through.

The group of young men match the description of Dr Cao's attackers.

Police are also asking for a man who rang 000 from a public phone box in Gordon St to call back.

That man rang about 11pm on Tuesday to report youths causing trouble at a shopping strip.

Dr Cao's wife and daughter were last night keeping a vigil by his hospital bed.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or go to www.crimestoppers.com.au
