In Warsaw, a Polish man beat up a Ukrainian man at a crosswalk
In downtown Warsaw, a 33-year-old Polish man attacked a 20-year-old Ukrainian man for no apparent reason. The man punched him in the head right on a crosswalk and then fled. The police later apprehended the attacker.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Nowy Świat and Świętokrzyska streets in Warsaw.
A group of people was crossing the street on a green light when one of the men suddenly punched the 20-year-old Ukrainian in the head. The attacker then immediately fled.
The force of the blow caused the Ukrainian man to fall onto the roadway and lose consciousness.
The victim was diagnosed with a knocked-out tooth and abrasions on his face. Passersby provided him with assistance and also called the police.
Shortly thereafter, patrol officers detained the suspect.
During questioning, the 33-year-old man was unable to explain why he attacked the Ukrainian man or what caused his aggression.
At the same time, law enforcement officers determined that the suspect had previously had run-ins with the law due to a similar attack.
It turned out that the man had previously committed a similar assault and spent nearly a year in prison.
His previous crime was committed against an 86-year-old woman, whom he kicked in the back at a shopping center.
Now, the 33-year-old Polish man faces charges that could result in up to five years in prison. At the same time, due to his prior conviction, he may receive a harsher sentence as a repeat offender.
In addition, investigators have classified the attack as hooliganism.
Thus, law enforcement is investigating yet another attack by a man who has previously been prosecuted for a violent crime.
This was reported by RMF24.
In addition, in Poznań, Poland, a group of men attacked a local resident, mistakenly believing him to be Ukrainian. During the attack, they insulted the man and demanded that he “go to war.”
It is worth noting that the deterioration in attitudes toward Ukrainians in Poland is most often linked to two issues: disputes surrounding the Volhynia tragedy and social benefits. At the same time, some Poles believe that public sentiment is influenced by Russian propaganda and statements by Ukrainian politicians.
Police in Wrocław, Poland, are investigating an attack on a 19-year-old Ukrainian citizen that occurred on July 4 on Slodowa Island in the city center. According to the victim and his father, the conflict may have arisen because the young man was speaking Ukrainian.
Earlier, in the Polish city of Radom, four men attacked a 20-year-old Ukrainian citizen after he was unable to sing Polish songs.
