Australian police are uncovering details about two near-identical assaults on men in Canberra.  

The first victim was allegedly lured to a home on July 16 for a date, and was then jumped by four men.  

Four days later, a second victim was allegedly assaulted by seven or eight men outside a house where he'd agreed to meet a person through a dating app.  

Australia correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge Police are investigating for links. 

She says some homophobic slurs were reportedly used, so it does seem targeted and premeditated.
