A bunch of furious people in Prague kicked the man out, the camera recorded
A bunch of six men attacked the victim shortly before five o’clock in the morning in Husinecká Street in Prague’s Žižkov.
The 27-year-old was first physically attacked and then robbed.
“The incident was preceded by a verbal dispute between a group of suspects and the injured. He wanted to record the entire mobile situation on his phone, which led to the escalation and the injured retreating in front of the group and then fleeing, “said police spokeswoman Violeta Siřišťová on Wednesday.
According to investigators, the attackers chased the man, and when they caught up with him, they kicked his legs until he fell to the ground.
“He was immediately physically attacked by hitherto unknown men with several punches to the head and kicks to the body area. After the attack, some of the attackers stole his wallet and mobile phone. The victim suffered injuries that required transportation to the hospital, “the spokeswoman said.
Criminal investigators published camera recordings of the incident from a street camera as well as a video from a nearby convenience store, where part of the shopping was before the attack itself.
