Another Indian Cabbie Bru

An Indian cabbie was brutally beaten by two men in Adelaide who allegedly also stole his taxi in a second such incident in the past three weeks.

Balraj Singh was severely injured on face and his nose was broken in an attack by the two men who had boarded his cab at the weekend, Australian media reported.

Last month, a 23-year-old Indian student taxi driver Jalvinder Singh was brutally stabbed and left bleeding on the roadside in Melbourne.

A number of taxi drivers on Monday protested the attack on Balraj, causing chaos in Adelaide city even as they sought justice for the victim.

Drivers parked about 50 taxis in front of the court building and protested for about 45 minutes, chanting, ''we want justice'' over the bashing of Singh, media reports said.

From his hospital bed, Singh said he was punched in the right eye and had his seatbelt wrapped around his neck by a man in the back seat.
