KEY POINTS:
MELBOURNE - Two men with baseball bats beat a teenage Orthodox Jew outside a Melbourne restaurant in a racist attack, Jewish leaders say.
They pair repeatedly hit the 16-year-old boy and yelled "f****** Jew" at the weekend, according to a joint statement from the Jewish Community Council of Victoria.
Police confirmed they were investigating the incident, but were unable to provide any details at this stage.
Ethraim Manshari, 17, a friend of the victim, said he first saw the attackers chasing another man along the street and yelling "f****** Arabs".
