An Indian woman was verbally assaulted by a local woman on the streets of Ireland on October 7 and was told to “go back to India”.

The victim, Swati Verma, shared the incident on Instagram, saying, “I never thought I’d have to justify my existence on a street I walk every day.”

The incident occurred at around 9 pm after she left the gym, going back home using a route she uses every day.

Verma wrote in the post, “She started asking: ‘Why did you come to Ireland? What are you doing here? Why don’t you go back to India?’”

In the video, the woman can be heard saying, “Do you have any idea what you’re doing? You’re coming to Ireland paying landlords’ f***ing money to live here.”
