Milan Hosek featured on RTÉ2′s new show Trauma, which looks into the world of trauma and medical emergency in Ireland.
Milan was treated at the Mater Hospital in Dublin after he had his ear bitten off in the attack.
He said that he was attacked by two men who started abusing him and saying things like:
Fucking foreigners in our country.
“I felt really bad when the guy started spitting at me and telling me I’m a foreigner in his country,” said Milan.
He then said that one man urged his companion to “bite” his ear off and they attacked him.
Milan is from the Czech Republic and his wife from Poland and they have lived in Ireland since 2005. They run a bicycle boutique shop called AngelCruisers in Dublin’s city centre.
Joanna said that living in Dublin “has always been racist”.
