The man who was allegedly assaulted by three off-duty Metro Vancouver police officers says he was beaten, robbed and racially abused.

Phil Khan spoke publicly Friday for the first time since he was the incident early Wednesday morning in downtown Vancouver.

Khan, who met the media outside his Surrey home, alleged that he was beaten for seven to eight minutes in an unprovoked assault and that the three assailants all smelled of alcohol.

Khan said he was working at the time, delivering newspapers, and was about to make a delivery to the Hyatt Regency Vancouver hotel on Burrard Street.
