A Teen gang targeting Indians has gone on attack spree in Dublin and, one of the attack is being probed as a possible hate crime.

An Garda Síochána, national police force of the Republic of Ireland has launched a probe after a man was violently assaulted and partially stripped by a group of attackers in Tallaght last week.

The man, who is in his 40s and originally from India, was injured after he was set upon and severely beaten by a group of young men before passersby came to his rescue. His trousers were also removed by the attackers, The Irish Times reported.

According to the Irish media, a group of teenagers had falsely accused the man of acting inappropriately around children. These claims were later shared on the internet, including by prominent far-right and anti-immigrant accounts.

The police authorities said that the man was taken to Tallaght University Hospital with injuries and discharged from the hospital early Sunday morning. Investigators believe some of the attackers have conducted other unprovoked attacks on foreign nationals in the Tallaght area recently.

Eyewitnesses said at least four Indian-origin individuals have been attacked in the last week by minors in Ireland.
