A teen charged with beating a Philly surgeon to a pulp during the Australian Open was freed on bail Wednesday — when he said his Muslim faith made him a target in prison.

The unidentified 17-year-old is one of five teens accused of pummeling Dr. Edmund Pribitkin, 52, and Edik Pribitkin in Melbourne — as the father and son left the tennis stadium area late at night on Jan. 17, The Age reported.

The group of rowdy teens asked the dad and son for cigarettes and then repeatedly punched and kicked the doctor to the ground and stole his belongings. His son, a 17-year-old high school senior, tried to give the group his wallet and phone but was also attacked.

The elder Pribitkin, who is the Chief Medical Officer at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, had to be placed in an induced coma and had to have titanium plates inserted into his face. His son suffered a broken nose and concussion, 9 News reported.

One of their alleged attackers was granted bail after his case manager said he was targeted in custody for being Muslim.

He said the teen was attacked and hospitalized and was suicidal as a result.

The teen moved to Australia from Afghanistan with his mother and siblings about four years ago. He stopped going to school in 2016.

When granting bail, the magistrate said the attack on Pribitkin and his son was “vicious and unprovoked,” with the surgeon suffering “horrific, life-changing injuries.”

The magistrate also said that the case against this teen wasn’t as strong as the ones against his alleged co-conspirators.

The teen’s bail conditions include living with his mother, a curfew, engaging in a youth justice program ad not associating with three of his co-accused who are also out on bail.

“This is not a decision reached lightly and the court will readily revoke bail if there is a breach of any conditions,” the magistrate said.

His next court date is April 20.
