Attack Description
According to preliminary information, a group of aggressive and intoxicated individuals were moving along Ołówkowa Street. At one point, two men began hitting a ground-floor apartment window with a wooden club, damaging the glass.
A witness reported that the individuals damaged approximately 9 windows in ground-floor apartments. When a 29-year-old Ukrainian woman came out of one of the damaged apartments to demand compensation, a woman joined the two previously mentioned men, leading to a scuffle between the women.

The woman’s mother-in-law came out to help the 29-year-old, and at the same time, one of the men struck the 29-year-old in the head with a wooden club. Both the mother-in-law and the 29-year-old woman were sprayed with gas by the attackers.
The 29-year-old victim was treated at the hospital and left the facility after a few hours.
