Hyderabad student injured after being chased and attacked by four men in Chicago, phone stolen

Chicago/IBNS: A student from Hyderabad has received grave injuries after being attacked by four armed robbers near his house in the US state of Chicago.

A video shows the student, who was bleeding profusely, stating that he was kicked and punched by the robbers. The robbers also snatched his phone.

The attack has sparked concern, especially after four Indian-origin students were found dead in the United States this year.

The victim-Syed Mazahir Ali, a resident of Langar Houz in Hyderabad, had gone to the US to pursue a Master's degree from Indiana Wesleyan University.

CCTV footage shows Ali being pursued by three of his attackers near his house on Campbell Avenue in Chicago in the early hours of Tuesday (Central Standard Time).

With blood streaming down his forehead, nose, and mouth, Ali can be heard saying in a video, "Four people attacked me. I was returning home with a food packet in my hand. I slipped near my house and the four people kicked and punched me. Please help me, bro. Please help me."

Last week, 19-year-old Shreyas Reddy Beniger, a student at the Linder School of Business in Ohio, was found dead.

Earlier that week, Purdue University student Neel Acharya was found dead on the university campus, hours after his mother had reported him missing.

Vivek Saini, from Haryana, was hammered to death by a homeless man in Georgia's Lithonia on Jan 16.

Akul Dhawan, another Indian student, was found dead outside the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in January.
