A suspected hate crime against an Indian man in Dublin has turned heads and led to quite an uproar. The man, reportedly working as a techie at Amazon, was assaulted by a group of teenagers on the streets of Tallaght. An eyewitness has now come forward and detailed the entire scene, revealing shocking details of the assault. She said the attackers shouted racial slurs while the man begged for help. “The teenagers were shouting that he was a paedophile and that was why he was attacked,” the eyewitness said in her post on social media.
In a social media post, eyewitness and rescuer Jennifer Murray, came forward with the details. She pointed out that the “ambulance took an hour to arrive”, as the Indian man bled profusely after the violent assault. She was the first responder on the scene to spot the man injured and had allegedly been “stabbed in the face multiple times.”

“They stripped him of his clothes, took his shoes, underwear, trousers and his wallet and phone and left him on the road,” she said. “They could have killed him,” she added. Murray also shared that he had moved to Ireland without his family, leaving behind an 11-month-old child in India.
Murray was also the first one to inform his family, living nearby, of the mishap. She recalled the conversation and said that his wife warned him “Ireland was not safe” and had been “scarred for life.”
He was rushed to the Tallaght University Hospital with injuries and had to undergo a brain scan.
Reactions to the Irish crime
Ambassador of India Akhilesh Mishra has since also told the Indian outlet that the Embassy of India in Ireland has contacted the Irish authorities. He condemned the “horrible attack” that had sparked “widespread concern and fear in the local Indian community.” The Embassy is also believed to be in touch with the Indian man who was assaulted in Dublin.
Baby Pereppadan, Ireland’s first Indian-origin mayor, called to attention to the matter and pointed out that the majority of Indians moving to Ireland “are here on work permits, to study and work in the healthcare sector or in IT and so on, providing critical skills.”
