In the Polish city of Bydgoszcz, two Ukrainian minors were attacked because they were speaking Ukrainian to each other. The victims are a 14-year-old girl and her 12-year-old brother. The incident was reported by the General Consulate of Ukraine in Gdańsk.
The attack occurred 14 August in a park near Bydgoszcz's railway station. According to the consulate, a man and a woman approached the children, began using obscene language, and threatened them on the grounds of national intolerance.
Subsequently, the verbal conflict escalated into physical aggression. The attackers twisted one child's arm, broke a toy drone, and hurled its fragments at the 12-year-old boy. As a result, he sustained scratches.
The diplomatic mission stated that they are in touch with the children's mother and have provided consular-legal assistance.
A police report has been filed regarding the assault. Law enforcement officers are searching for the man and woman involved in the incident.
The children's physical health is not in danger, but they experienced severe emotional distress after the attack.
The general consulate stated that the case is under control. Issues of Ukrainian safety and countering manifestations of intolerance are also planned to be discussed in the coming days during a meeting with local authorities and police.
“We will not leave this case without an appropriate legal response,” the consulate emphasized.
