Authorities have detained a man who verbally abused Ukrainian girls on a public bus in Bielsko-Bia\u0142a, an incident currently being investigated as a potential hate crime by local officials. <\/p>\n
The perpetrator of the attack on the girls was taken into police custody. Minister of Interior and Administration Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski stated that any form of aggression will face a decisive state response, serving as a warning that hate speech will not go unpunished.<\/p>\n
The Municipal Transport Company (MZK) in Bielsko-Bia\u0142a reported that the incident occurred on July 11. They noted that the circumstances suggest the verbal abuse was motivated by the victims’ nationality.<\/p>\n
MZK clarified that the perpetrator was an off-duty company employee currently on sick leave. The driver of the vehicle intervened by asking the passenger to remain calm and eventually ordering him to leave the bus. The company announced that disciplinary measures will be taken against the employee under labor law.<\/p>\n
Social media footage shows the man targeting the girls with xenophobic insults, telling them they were living on Polish money and demanding they return to Ukraine. When confronted by one of the children, he responded with further intimidation and profanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
