In Poland, authorities have charged a 46-year-old woman who was detained in the case of the assault on two Ukrainian children in Bydgoszcz.
RBC-Ukraine reports this citing the Bydgoszcz police.
According to law enforcement, the woman is charged with several offenses: insult based on nationality, violation of the physical integrity of a minor, and property damage.
The detainee is to be brought to the district prosecutor's office in the near future. There will be further procedural actions in the case there.
Meanwhile, a 34-year-old man, who was also previously detained within the investigation, has already been questioned. He currently holds the status of a witness.
What is known about the attack
The incident occurred in 14 August in a park near the train station in Bydgoszcz. The conflict arose between two adults — a man and a woman — and two Ukrainian children: a 14-year-old girl and her 12-year-old brother.
According to preliminary data, the motive for the aggression was the Ukrainian language the children were using among themselves.
Two adults who were walking with a dog began insulting the children with obscene language, expressing threats due to their nationality and using physical force against them.
After the incident, Polish police launched an investigation and detained two persons.
The attack drew considerable attention in Poland. The country’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded, condemning the assault on the Ukrainian children and stating that such behavior is unacceptable.
Law enforcement continues procedural actions, and the final legal assessment of the defendants' actions will be provided by the Polish prosecutor's office and the court.
Earlier, StopKor reported that in Wrocław, Poland, according to the victim’s mother, a young Ukrainian couple — Nata and Maksym — was brutally beaten. The girl received stitches on her neck, and both victims doctors suspect a concussion; the mother suggests the attack may have been prompted by the Ukrainian accent. At the same time, there is no official confirmation of the crime motive or information about the attackers' arrest.
