Two teenagers have appeared before the ACT Children's Court after Chinese high school students were allegedly bashed at a bus station in south Canberra.

A pair of international students were waiting at the Woden bus interchange about 7:30pm on Monday when at least two teenagers approached them.

Friends told the ABC the strangers asked for cigarettes, and when the boys declined, they were attacked.

One of the boys sustained cuts and bruises to his face.

It is not clear the extent of the other boy's injuries.

Several members of Canberra's Chinese student community said it was one of a series of recent incidents of harassment in Canberra's south.

There is no suggestion the boys who appeared before court are connected to the other incidents.

Chinese students said they were "frightened", and images of the alleged attacks have been heavily shared amongst the local Chinese community on social media.

Multiple students, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Chinese students were being intimidated.

"They are afraid to go outside after dark," one student said.

They said in one incident, students were chased and forced to hide in a Chinese restaurant, while teenagers waited outside.

In another incident, friends said a student who was also chased, ended up bruising her knees after falling.

ACT Policing have increased patrols around the bus interchange.

Police said in response to the incident on Monday, they have met with Chinese community leaders, students and parents to discuss personal safety.

ACT Minister for Education Yvette Berry said she believed it was an isolated incident.

"Students who come from around the world to study here in Canberra make a valuable contribution to our community and Canberrans pride ourselves on our city's cultural diversity," she said.

She said the Government would continue to work with schools and police to ensure the safety of all international students.
