Hundreds of members of Melbourne’s Chinese community gathered at a vigil and rally for Jianming Feng, who was allegedly stabbed to death while delivering food in Melbourne’s CBD on Friday night.

Feng was one of two delivery riders who were allegedly attacked after seeing a man tampering with their bikes in Melbourne’s city centre on Friday night, police said.

It’s alleged a 51-year-old man stabbed both men during an altercation after they confronted him.

Feng, 47, died at the scene, with his identity confirmed by several media outlets and a GoFundMe page set up to support his family.

His 34-year-old colleague was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.

Police have charged the 51-year-old man with murder and intentionally causing injury.
