A planned meeting in Warsaw’s Wola district turned violent as a man was robbed and assaulted by a group of four individuals.
Attack in Warsaw Apartment
The assault occurred in a rented apartment in Warsaw’s Wola district. The victim had arranged to meet a woman, but was then confronted by another woman and two masked men. A third assailant waited outside.
One attacker wielded a knife and a weightlifting grip, while another had a telescopic baton. The perpetrators allegedly demanded money before assaulting the man, causing bodily harm, and stealing his belongings and cash.
