'Will Probably Never Come Back': Tourist Vows Not To Visit Goa After Vacation Trip Turns Into Nightmare

One man who was vacationing in Goa said he was verbally and physically attacked, and he vowed never to go back to the well-known tourist spot again. In a lengthy social media post, the man said that during a traffic altercation, the locals attacked and harassed him close to Madgaon railway station.

In a Reddit post titled "Got physically abused in Goa, will probably never come back," the man described his experience. He claimed to have leased a car for the trip and to have dropped his partner off at the airport before heading to Madgaon station to catch a train.

“I went with my girlfriend this time and rented a car cause we didn't want to drive a scooty in this scorching heat. While going back, I dropped her at the airport (GOI) and I was going to Madgaon for my train,” he said.

He claimed to have "cut" two local men on a two-wheeler as he was driving towards the station, but he maintained that there was no collision between the two cars. “No bump, no scratches, our vehicles did not touch, and frankly I didn't even cut him,” he wrote.

The men allegedly threatened to damage his windshield, halted his car, and followed him to the train station. “One guy got off, picked up a stone and threatened to break the windshield if I didn't open the window,” he wrote.

The man claimed that when he opened the window, they verbally and physically assaulted him. “The moment I opened it, he punched me straight up. His other friend was just standing and both were abusing me about me being from outside,” the man wrote. He went on to say that all of this was taking place while he was running out of time to get back in the car and catch his train.

“Finally, some locals helped me leave and I barely was able to return the car and get to the train. This was so horrible I haven't even processed it fully yet,” he wrote.

The experience has left him disturbed. “I hate Goa now because of this and has scarred all the good times I had,” he added.

Despite not being able to record the attackers or their car, he has subsequently stated that he intends to lodge a police report.

The incident made other users in Goa concerned about their safety.
