‘He was stripped, left dripping in blood’: Dublin woman who rushed to help Indian man recounts attack | World News

An Irish woman, who rushed to the rescue of an Indian man who was attacked a mob in Dublin, said he was completely dripping in blood from his head to toe when she found him.
In an emotional video, the woman — Jennifer Murray — said she was driving Parkhill Road in Tallaght around 6 pm on Saturday (June 19) when she saw five to six adults and a particular woman gathered at a place. “Then I saw this man, standing there, completely dripping in blood from his head, straight down to his toes. His entire body was covered in blood.”
Murray then pulled out of her car and walked towards the man who was desperately asking for help. “The woman was showing everybody… he has been assaulted, been attacked… pointing at the man. So at that point I said everybody to get away and he (the man who was attacked) was saying ‘please help me, please save me’”. After that she brought the man to her car which was parked about 10 feet away from where she had found him.

She said there were a few more people from the locality who helped her to rescue the man and the police were called.
According to local reports, the man had arrived in Ireland a few weeks ago. He was targeted in an assault at Parkhill Road in Tallaght evening. The police in Ireland, have opened an investigation into the case. Following this, Indian Ambassador to Ireland Akhilesh Mishra took to social media to express his shock over the attack and also questioned some of the Irish media coverage of the violent assault.
Murray broke down as she expressed her shock that such an incident happened in her locality “at 6 o’clock. at broad daylight”. She said the man was walking to his temple to pray when the perpetrators attacked him from behind. Describing the brutality of the attack, Murray said the perpetrators probably had some sort of plates between their knuckles, “because they had gnashed his forehead open”. They had stripped him off his clothes, took away his shoes, phones, and everything else he had, Murray recounted. “They left him to die… they very easily could have killed him what they had done to him,” she said.
“I took him to the car, gave blankets, some sort of compression to his wounds… I sat with him and told him the whole time that he is going to be okay… that I was so sorry that this has happened to him.Story continues below this ad
Murray said that the teenagers and adults from the area who attacked the man made up a fake story to justify their attack on the man. They accused him of being a pedophile, “that he had his trousers down, that he was wanking on the roundabout, that he had taken off his clothes in the playground… and that was why what happened had happened”, she said.
Outrightly rejecting the allegations, Murray said,” I have stayed with this man for 10-15 minutes, and I knew that man had not done that… You may say how did you know… but I knew straightaway that the man had not done that…”
She also pointed out this this was not an isolated incident. She alleged that there was a gang going out attacking people on their face. “There is a gang that is going around, and there are children… Four Indian men had been facially stabbed this gang of teenagers in the last four days in Tallaught. Many of you knew that… So, your teenagers from your area are going around stabbing innocent men in the face.”
