Two Chinese international students who were taunted about coronavirus and attacked by a white woman have spoken out about the brutal bashing.

Disturbing footage showed the two university students being yelled at and physically attacked by two other women near the Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne's CBD on Wednesday.    

'She started saying ''get the f*** out of our country - you don't belong here'',' one of the students told Nine News.

'I'm really scared they think it's OK to do [this] to other people,' the other student said.

A man holding a dog intervened after the student being attacked dropped to the ground and the woman began to knee her in the face. 

'You're a f***ing imbecile. Don't f***ing hit me,' the attacker shouted after the bystander stopped her. 

She then apologised to the man before walking away. 

Both students received minor injuries.  

During the attack, one of the victim's Air Pods was dropped and stolen by a man who was nearby, but not involved in the fight. 

Victoria Police released images of the two women who they believe can help with the investigation. 

They described one of the women as Caucasian in appearance, about 20 years old and approximately 150cm tall with a skinny build and shoulder length brown hair. 

She was wearing a dark top with a light-coloured skirt.

The second woman was described as Caucasian in appearance, about 20 years old with a skinny build and shoulder length blonde hair. 

She was wearing a pink jacket. 

'She started saying ''get the f*** out of our country - you don't belong here'',' one of the students said.

The video was published on YouTube but was said to have first started circulating on the Korean Kakaotalk group chat.

A caption accompanying the footage suggests the attack was a blatant act of racism. 

'Two white Australian girls were following two Asian girls, constantly swearing,' a message on the video read.  

'Finally when they turned back to talk to them to stop they started to assault them.'
