'Do you know her?': Indian-origin cricketers save Canadian woman from stalker, video gains praises online

When you are out and about on a walk on a sunny day with your dog, not much can go wrong. However, for a woman in the modern world, situations can turn obscure anytime, even in broad daylight.

A terrifying example of this recently happened in Canada when a woman was saved by a group of Indian-origin cricket players who prevented her from being stalked. As per reports, the woman was walking her dog in a park in British Columbia when a man began following her.

In the clip quickly gaining traction online, the man holding a drink in his hand can be seen approaching the group of cricketers, near a park in Prince George, where the members of the Prince George Cricket Club were playing.

The woman can be seen standing behind the group, who all appeared in a protective stand in front of her. In the video, the players kept asking the alleged stalker, "Who are you?", "What are you doing here?" and "call 911".

When he replied that he was just saying "hello," they replied "You don't need to." One of the men in the group can be heard saying "This is a cricket ground. It's private property. Nobody is touching you."

Social media reactions

Witnesses and social media users praised the group's composure while dealing with the situation. Others asked how Indians faced racist stereotypes online but never won praise for such acts of help.

"A group of Indian-origin men rescued a girl from a creep who was following her in Prince George, BC, Canada To those who constantly target Indians over the internet with racist stereotypes… where is that narrative now?" asked a user on X.

"This is the way. Good looking out, boys," praised one.

"I bet this won’t go viral" challenged another.

The woman was reportedly able to remain safe until the situation was brought under control and the man eventually left the area.

Racism against Indians

The video comes after numerous other clips of Indians being targeted by foreigners have been circulating online. Recently, another video from Canada showed an Indian man, Lovepreet Singh, in an exchange with a woman who allegedly told him to "go back to India"

The woman who was driving a car asked the man who was recording the video to go back to his home country.. The man replied to the woman saying "Your face says you are a racist person. Your face says it all."

Following the incident, the man posted the video on Instagram, sharing that the incident took place at Kentville in Nova Scotia. "And it only took this little to ruin my day. She already made the statement GO BACK TO INDIA before I pulled out my phone and later she changed it to 'to your mother'," Lovepreet wrote."This isn't a (sic) everyday thing but make sure when it happens to you be vocal and talk back because RACISM has no place and is never welcomed! I hope this video reaches the people of Kentville so that wherever she goes, she is embarrassed because since I have worked in the town, people are definitely not like this!" Lovepreet wrote.
