The man, in his 40s, was brutally attacked and partially stripped in a suspected racist assault in Tallaght, Dublin, on Saturday evening. Having arrived in Ireland just three weeks earlier, he sustained injuries to his face, arms, and legs, and was hospitalized before being discharged on Sunday morning.

Calling out the incident as "horrible", Indian ambassador to Ireland, Akhilesh Mishra, had said, "How can an “ALLEGED” assault cause such horrible injury & bleeding? Aghast at the insensitivity & obfuscation of @rte @rtenews!"
