Saurabh Anand was allegedly attacked with a machete
10 October 2025
A teenager accused of attempting to hack off a man's hand in a sickening machete attack
has been given the 'best wishes' of one of Australia's most famous judges.
Saurabh Anand, 33, was allegedly set upon by five teenagers in the unprovoked attack in Altona Meadows, in Melbourne's west, in July in an attack that shocked the nation.
On Thursday, one of those alleged offenders was released from youth detention on bail by the same judge who presided over the epic trial of mushroom killer Erin Patterson.
As he released the 14-year-old back into the community, Justice Christopher Beale wished the boy 'good luck'.
'Protecting the community has been uppermost in my mind. But rehabilitation serves that public interest,' he said.
'I wish you the best of luck.'
Police allege the teen was the main attacker and slashed Mr Anand in an unprovoked attack over cigarettes and a phone, The Age reported.
As well as almost losing his hand and arm, Mr Anand was allegedly slashed and stabbed in the shoulder and back, and suffered a fractured spine, broken bones in his arm, and head injuries.

I would normally be fully supportive of the judiciary, but in this case the Judge has rocks in their head releasing this offender and should be fired.
