'We are in Australia, get back to your own country': Indian-origin father claims racial attack in Sydney; no action taken because...

An Indian-origin father in Australia was hurled racial abuses when he was practicing cricket at the Doug Bollinger Reserve nets in Sydney’s west with his children. The ball came near a man who was walking his dog, but according to the claim, it did not touch or hurt them. Australia Today reported that the man then became aggressive and accused the father of deliberately trying to hit the dog. The father, whose name has not been revealed, told him that they were playing inside the designated cricket training facility and the man with the dog was wrong to walk through the nets when he saw that they were playing. The conversation did not de-escalate the situation. Instead, the man reportedly started abusing the father, asking him to go back to India. The father said he started recording when the altercation turned abusive. The father said the alleged abuser then picked up a stick from the ground and walked towards him to threaten him. When the father resumed recording again, he dropped the stick. The man left the park after this but the father claimed that then an older man approached the family and hurled abuses. The second man attacked the father physically, he said, apart from racial abuses, reminding the Indian-origin family that they were in Australia and should get back to India.New South Wales police arrived at the park after the father asked his children to call the police but both the abusers left the park by that time. And they only had the father’s recorded footage to identify the individuals. While the incident took place on January 3, no action could be taken as the police said the two men involved were unable to be located and without that no further action could have been taken.
