University of Sydney stabbing: Psychology scholar, 22, allegedly knifed by boy in suspected terror stabbing on campus 'doing fine' as his family break silence

The victim of an alleged terror stabbing at a university is a graduate psychology student researching brain disorders. 

Melvern Kurniawan, 22, was allegedly stabbed in the neck and back with a kitchen knife by a 14-year-old boy at the University of Sydney at about 8.35am on Tuesday.

Mr Kurniawan was walking to the renowned Brain and Mind Centre on campus when the alleged random attack took place. 

Bystanders rushed to his aid and stemmed the bleeding from his wounds until paramedics arrived on the scene. 

He was rushed to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and is now recovering at home after he was discharged. 

Mr Kurniawan's family broke their silence on Wednesday following his terrifying ordeal. 

'He is doing fine, really fine. 'He doesn't want to talk about it for now, just recover first,' his mother Desy told the Daily Telegraph. 

More to come.
