A woman has been speaking to 98FM following what she is describing as a racially motivated attack in Dublin.
31 year old Saudi Arabian Mashael Khayyat says was hit by a man travelling on the number 70 bus along Pearse St last week.
The Trinity College PhD student says she was left bruised following the incident and now feels unsafe leaving her home.
Mashael contacted the bus driver straight away and he called Gardai.
An investigation into the matter is now underway.
