Four teenagers stabbed a man while handing over drugs on New Year’s Eve in Prague. An emergency unit ran out for them
One of the first cases of violent crime, which took place in 2022 in Prague, was a robbery with weapons on the street, but it ended up injured with points of injuries in the hospital.
Criminal investigators from the homicide and third police departments have already clarified the case and detained four juveniles suspected of the attack. In three of them, they filed such a complaint about their appearance in custody, which in one court accepted.
According to the information obtained so far, the incident took place in Mlékárenská Street in Vysočany, where he met with a pre-arranged meeting with the suspects, which is the reason why the drugs were handed over. However, this did not happen and everything culminated in the attack of damaged attackers and the already mentioned stab wounds. There were also acquaintances of the victim on the spot, who tried to defend themselves and were also attacked.
At the end of last week, criminal investigators, in cooperation with the Prague police intervention unit, detained the suspects. Eventually, they were charged with robbery, rioting and one of them with extortion. Given that this is the case, they face up to five years in prison if convicted.
This case is not unique and we have recently seen an increase in this type of crime, with groups of juveniles assaulting their peers under the pretext of buying drugs. I sometimes film them on the phone during the sale and then blackmail them in the hope that if they sold drugs, they would not report the matter to the police. All these cases need to be reported to the police so that they can be resolved.
