The 19-year-old, identified as Benjamin Scolt, took an auto rickshaw from Delhi's Chandai Chowk area but the auto driver apparently asked another man to sit in the rickshaw along with Scolt and the duo later attacked him and robbed him of his cash. Following this, Scolt jumped out of the moving rickshaw and was later taken to the hospital by a passerby, according to DNA. Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj took cognizance of the incident and tweeted that she had sought a report on the issue and asked the Delhi government to provide him with medical assistance.

I have asked for a report on the attack on German national in Delhi. I have asked Delhi Government to provide him best medical treatment. — Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) April 8, 2017

The incident, coming just weeks after the 'racist' attack on two Nigerian nationals in Noida, yet again brought to the fore the security issues foriegn nationals face in India. In another attack from just days ago, a group of four foreign tourists was attacked and looted in Ajmer, and one of the women with them was molested, according to The Indian Express. In another ghastly attack from last month, a British woman was brutally raped and murdered in Goa, on Holi.
