Neo-Nazis jailed for attack on Vietnamese student
Updated
Two members of a Melbourne Neo-Nazi group have been sentenced to jail for a brutal attack on a Vietnamese student.
Minh Duong was walking home from his job in Ascot Vale in June when he was set upon by Shannon Hudson, 21 and Wayne O'Brien, 20, both of Ascot Vale.
Mr Duong was kicked and punched repeatedly before being stabbed and having a brick dropped on his head.
A number of nearby residents heard his screams and called the police.
Mr Duong was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Justice Betty King described the attack as brutal, saying it was sparked by the men's racist beliefs.
The men pleaded guilty to intentionally causing serious injury.
Hudson was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in jail, while O'Brien was given a four-and-a-half-year sentence.
