In another racist attack against Indians in Ireland, a six-year-old girl was allegedly assaulted by a group of children. The six-year-old Indian girl was reportedly punched in the face and hit in the private parts as the attackers asked her to “go back to India."

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, the girl’s mother shared that the attack occurred on Monday, August 4, while the 6-year-old was playing outside her home with friends.

Six-Year-Old Assaulted, Called ‘Dirty Indian’

“She told me five of them punched her in the face. One of the boys pushed the bicycle wheel onto her private parts, and it was really sore. They said the F word and ‘Dirty Indian, go back to India," the mother told The Irish Mirror.

The mother has recently acquired Irish citizenship and has been a nurse and living in Ireland for about eight years.

The Dublin-based news outlet reported that the attack took place when the mother went back inside to feed her 10-month-old baby. She then informed that when the girl came inside the house, she was upset, couldn’t even talk and was so scared.

The nurse, who has been living in Ireland for around eight years now, said that she saw the group of boys involved in the assault. However, she added that the boys just stared at her in a confrontational manner.

“I saw the gang afterward. They were staring at me, laughing. They know I am her parent. The boys were maybe 12 or 14, and they were still roaming around here," she said.

The Indian woman has filed a complaint with Garda police. However, she is not seeking punishment for the boys, but is hoping they receive the counselling and guidance they need.

Racist Attacks Against Indians

There has been a sudden rise in racist attacks against Indians in Ireland. In July, at least three attacks against Indians in Ireland were reported.

In Dublin, an Indian man in his 20s was attacked by teenagers at a tram stop. As per reports, the man was pushed, beaten, and stabbed in the face with a screwdriver.

In another incident in Dublin, Dr Santosh Yadav, a senior data scientist, was returning to his apartment when six teenagers attacked him from behind.
