Australia's been in the news lately with random violence against tourists. And not the rabid dingo kind. From News.com.au:
POLICE believe a beer stubbie was full when it was thrown from a passing car and smashed into the face of a cycling Swiss tourist.
The Geelong Advertiser reports the weight of the fluid added to the shattering impact as it broke his eye socket, nose, a tooth and prescription sunglasses and sent him flying from his bike.
He was fulfilling a dream to ride from Melbourne to Geelong and on to the Great Ocean Road when the incident happened about 6.20pm (AEST) yesterday.
The 27-year-old tourist, identified as Thomas, lay on the bitumen verge of the Princes Freeway, blood pouring from the split in the flesh beside his nose, knocked senseless by a senseless act.
He had slowed on the Geelong-bound verge of the freeway to cautiously cross the Lara exit lane. He looked carefully and no cars were exiting. That's the last he can remember.
