POLICE are appealing for information to catch two offenders caught on CCTV violently attacking two Korean students in Southport this week.

About midnight on Tuesday two Korean nationals were sitting outside a karaoke bar in Scarborough St having a cigarette.

Council CCTV shows two men approach them, one distracts them, while the other swiftly kicks one of the foreign students in the head.

He is knocked unconscious instantly and the offenders steal his wallet and phone, before casually walking away in a southbound direction.

Senior detectives have described the attack as “sickening” and are appealing for the public to help them catch the men.

Detective Inspector Mark Procter said footage from council’s CCTV network clearly showed the offenders.

“The footage is clear, it is council footage from the Southport mall and we would ask people to view the footage closely and if anyone recognises them to contact police,” he said.

“The Korean nationals were enjoying a night out and they have stepped out for a cigarette when the offence occurred.

“We don’t believe there is any connection between the offenders and the victims, they have not been in the country long.

“It is a sickening attack and we want to get these men off the streets as a matter of urgency.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
