In Dublin, another incident of assault involving a person of Indian origin has emerged, where the victim was struck twice on the head with a bottle and left bleeding, local media reported.A cab driver, who has lived in Ireland for more than 23 years and a taxi driver for more than a decade, sustained head injuries from a bottle strike twice in Poppintree, Ballymun on Friday evening. Following the violent incident, which left his vehicle blood-stained, he received treatment at Beaumont Hospital.Lakhvir Singh said he is “very scared” to resume work after sustaining injuries in an assault. The India-born father-of-two told Dublin Live that the assailants shouted xenophobic remarks “go back to your own country”” while fleeing. Lakhvir recounted collecting two young men, approximately 20-21 years old, from the northside before transporting them to Poppintree.Upon reaching their destination, the passengers forcefully opened Lakhvir’s door and struck his head twice with a bottle. Despite attempting to seek assistance from nearby residences, no help arrived. He subsequently contacted emergency services, with both gardai and medical personnel responding to the scene.Although avoiding serious injury, he expressed significant concerns about returning to work. “In 10 years I’ve never seen anything like this happen,” he stated.“I’m really scared now and I’m off the road at the moment. It will be very hard to go back. My children are really scared.”A Garda representative confirmed their ongoing investigation, stating: “Gardaí are investigating an assault reported to have occurred in Poppintree, Ballymun, Dublin 11 at approximately 11:45pm on Friday, 1st August 2025. A man, aged in his 40s, was brought to Beaumont Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injury. Investigations are ongoing.”This incident follows several recent attacks on Indian nationals in Dublin. On July 19, an Indian man experienced severe trauma after being assaulted, stripped, and facially stabbed by youths in Kilnamanagh, Tallaght during daylight hours.On July 27, a 32-year-old Indian data scientist required hospitalisation following an unprovoked assault by six teenage boys in Liffey Valley.
