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.
According to the mother, the gang of children who attacked her daughter included a girl aged around eight and several boys between 12 and 14.
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.
'I told her I would be back in a second after feeding the baby," she said, adding that the girl came back home upset.
'She was very upset, she started crying. She couldn't even talk, she was so scared," the mother added further.
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. Despite the brutal assault on her daughter, the woman is not seeking a punishment for the boys, but is hoping they receive the counselling and guidance they need.
Attacks against Indians on the rise
There has been an uptick in racist attacks against Indians in Ireland. The rise in attacks also prompted the Indian embassy in Dublin to issue an advisory and emergency helpline numbers of Indian nationals in the country.
In July, at least three attacks against Indians in Ireland were reported. In Tallaght, an Indian man was assaulted by a group of 10 teenagers. The gang stabbed the man in the face multiple times during his walk to the local temple.
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.
