The Irish police reported the arrest of two men for alleged involvement in the attack on an Indian man on July 19 at Parkhill Lawns in the Kilnamanagh area of Dublin. The arrests were made on the morning of Nov. 14.
The violent attack on the Indian man in his 40s, was alleged to be racially motivated and is considered to be a part of a string of racially motivated attacks on Indians in the country, including an attack on a 6-year-old Indian girl, who was asked to go back to her country. The attacks attracted widespread condemnation from community and political leaders, including from the Irish President, who described the attacks as "despicable".
