Summary

A 22-year-old man from New Ross, Co Wexford, has been charged with multiple assault and hate-aggravated assault charges following an alleged racist attack on two men outside a Tesco supermarket in Cherrywood, Dublin 18. The incident, which occurred on March 14 last year, allegedly involved the accused shouting, 'Come out, you Indians. I'll show you,' before punching one of the men in the face. The victim suffered a cut to his eyelid and bruising around his eye, while the second man was allegedly grabbed from behind but not injured. The court heard that the alleged incident was unprovoked and not linked to any demonstration or protest. The charges are based on the alleged racist motivation of the accused. The case was adjourned until October 13 to allow for the preparation of a book of evidence.
