Rewrite to file if that exists in subdirectory

I have a file structure like this:

root
 |- public
    |- file.jpeg
    |- file.txt
 |- .htaccess
 |- index.php

Now, I want to rewrite example.com/file.jpeg to example.com/public/file.jpeg and the same for file.txt and every other file inside the public directory, but if the file doesn't exists in the subdirectory then rewrite to index.php

For some reason this .htaccess rewrites everything to index.php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond  %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/$1 -f
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$  public/$1  [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]

What is wrong with my code?

You're missing RewriteCond to check for existing files/directories from last rule thus routing everything to index.php.

You can use:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# if direct access to /public needs be directed to index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+public [NC]
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

# if it is not /public/ then route to index.php
RewriteRule !^public/ index.php [L,NC]
