A pensioner who brutally beat a Ukrainian woman with a stick was arrested in Poland

In the Polish city of Gdynia, law enforcement officers detained a 76-year-old Polish citizen who brutally attacked a 40-year-old Ukrainian woman. According to the investigation, the man beat the woman with a walking stick, after which he was detained by criminal investigators from the local police department.

The suspect struck the Ukrainian woman twice on the head with a wooden walking stick and fled in an unknown direction after the incident.

The District Prosecutor’s Office in Gdynia has opened a case on its own initiative regarding a crime involving bodily harm to the victim.

“At this time, the established circumstances do not indicate that the incident was a crime motivated by ethnic prejudice. Further procedural steps are underway in this case," the Pomeranian Police reported on Saturday after 4:30 p.m.

This was reported by TVN24.

In Wrocław, unknown assailants brutally beat a Ukrainian couple because of their accent.

As a reminder, Poland is incorporating Ukraine’s combat experience into the modernization of its army.

On May 21, a new 60-day extension of temporary restrictions on applying for international protection at the border with Belarus took effect in Poland. These restrictions limit migrants’ right to apply for international protection while crossing the Polish-Belarusian border. The country’s authorities have once again extended these measures.
