An Indian data scientist has warned of a “huge increase” in racist attacks after he was assaulted by a gang of youths in west Dublin.

Dr Santosh Yadav was walking home after having dinner with a friend in Dublin on Sunday, July 27th, when he was attacked by “a gang of five or six teenagers”, leaving him with injuries all over his body.

“They approached me from behind and immediately smashed my glasses,” Dr Yadav said. “They started hitting me, quite hard. They hit me in the face, on my chest, my back, my legs. Everywhere.

“They hit me so much, and then just ran away. I was on the pavement, bleeding everywhere,” he said. “It all happened quite fast. I wasn’t prepared for such things to happen”.
