Two women were detained in Poznań following an attack on Ukrainians
In Poznań, Poland, police detained two women who attacked Ukrainian citizens outside a restaurant. The incident was captured on video, which went viral on social media and helped law enforcement identify the attackers. According to police, the women were likely intoxicated.
The incident occurred after midnight on August 13 near a restaurant in Poznań. A conflict arose between the two women and the Ukrainian citizens, which quickly escalated into an aggressive attack. In the video, which later appeared on social media, the women can be seen yelling at the Ukrainians, spitting in their direction, and behaving aggressively. One of them also throws a street umbrella, and the footage shows the women striking the Ukrainians.
The video quickly spread online and caught the attention of Polish law enforcement. According to the police, the footage from the scene was instrumental in identifying those involved in the attack. Police began identifying the women and investigating the circumstances of the conflict. As a result, both suspects were located.
Police Detain the Attackers
On Friday, August 14, the Poznań police detained both women who appeared in the video. This was reported by Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kerwinski. He posted about the detention on the social media platform X.
Thus, the video circulating online became one of the key elements that helped law enforcement track down the attackers. The police also reported that the women were likely under the influence of alcohol. At the same time, the exact circumstances of the incident and all details of the altercation are to be determined by law enforcement.
The video helped identify the women
This case has once again demonstrated how important video footage of events in public places can be for investigations. Law enforcement officials noted that it was precisely the video, which went viral on social media, that was instrumental in identifying the women. The video showed not only the altercation itself but also the women’s appearances and their actions.
After reviewing the footage, the police were able to take the necessary steps to identify them. The very next day, both women were detained. In situations like this, video footage from eyewitnesses can serve as crucial evidence. It allows law enforcement to reconstruct the sequence of events and verify the statements of those involved in the conflict.
What’s Next
Currently, it is known that two women have been detained, but a final legal assessment of their actions is still pending. The police must establish all the circumstances of the incident, including the cause of the conflict, the nature of the attackers’ actions, and the possible consequences for the victims.
Law enforcement must also verify reports that the women may have been under the influence of alcohol. The fact of their detention does not mean they have been found guilty. Further procedural decisions will be made after the necessary investigations are conducted and evidence is gathered. For now, the main point is that the Poznań police have already identified and detained both women who were captured on video engaging in aggressive behavior toward Ukrainians. Poland’s Minister of the Interior, Marcin Kerwinski, reported this on the X platform.
