An Indian man was assaulted at an eatery by an allegedly drunk Canadian man in Toronto. A video of the incident went viral on social media, raising concerns over rising xenophobia in the country.
According to a report published by The Times of India, a widely circulated video clip shows a man wearing a blue jacket attacking an Indian-origin man in a cafe.
In the footage, it is clearly seen that the Indian-origin man did not provoke him. The Canadian man threw the victim’s phone under a table, prompting him to pick it up. The Canadian man can be heard saying, “What did you just say to me?”
The victim responded by saying that he might get into trouble.
A shocking video has surfaced showing a drunk Canadian man attacking an Indian man simply because he believes the Indian is acting superior. Until Indians abroad stand up to bullies like this, they will be run over again and again and remain easy targets. Don’t let fear silence… pic.twitter.com/JwtZ0ghYrh

Soon, the cafe staff intervened and urged them to “take it outside.” The aggressor then left the premises.
Last week, a 68-year-old Indian-origin businessman named Darshan Singh Sahsi was killed in Canada’s Abbotsford on Monday morning (local time), reported the Vancouver Sun.
In a news release by the Abbotsford Police, the patrol officers discovered the victim’s body while he was suffering from life-threatening injuries. The victim was taken to the hospital, where he succumbed to death due to his wounds. The investigation into the matter is in the early stages, reported the Vancouver Sun.
“Despite life-saving medical efforts of first responders, the man succumbed to his injuries. No arrests have been made at this time. The investigation is still in its early stages, and additional resources have been deployed to support efforts in uncovering the full circumstances surrounding this incident,” Sergeant Paul Walker said as per the Vancouver Sun.
