The unidentified Indian was seen on camera in a video that has gone viral on social media.

In the video, the Indian, who can be seen going close to a mall and telling the American to stop filming him, is continuously questioned by the American about why he is in Europe. "I am from America. And in America…there’s too many of you guys here. So why are you in Poland? Why are you here? Do you think you can just invade Poland? Why don’t you return to your own country?" says man recording the video while racially abusing an Indian man.

"Why are your people invading our homelands? You have India! Why are you coming to the white man’s land to take off from our hard work? Why don’t you build your own country? Why are you being a parasite? You are genociding our race. You are an invader. Go home, invader. We don’t want you in Europe. Poland for Polish only. You are not Polish" he further said.

It is unclear when the most recent assault occurred or what brought the two individuals together. Social media users criticised the video's "shameful display of racism." The event occurred more than a week after a group of Indian-American ladies in the US state of Texas were threatened and subjected to racial insults by a Mexican woman.
