A County Antrim man newly married to an African nurse says he is living in fear after racist slogans and swastikas were painted on their home.
Paul Morton's car was also damaged during the incident in Portballintrae near Bushmills on Wednesday night.
Mr Morton and his wife had just moved into the house in July, and police are treating the attack as a hate crime.
He told the BBC's Evening Extra that he was scared that they may come back and carry out more serious attacks.
"They could throw things through your windows or pour stuff through your letterbox," he said.
"To think it's maybe somebody you've known all your life who did it makes it even worse"
"You never know what's going to happen - it has come as a total shock."
The attackers poured paint stripper on their car. It happened at about 0100 BST.
His wife was not at home at the time, as she attends nursing college in Dublin.
Mr Morton said they have not experienced any animosity in the village since the wedding.
"I'm born and bred in Bushmills and it's a complete shock - you always hear about these things happening but never expect it to happen to you," he said.
"To think it's maybe somebody you've known all your life who did it makes it even worse."
Police have appealed for information.
