Warsaw police have arrested five suspects following a deeply disturbing and unprovoked assault on three Ukrainian teenagers on the Świętokrzyski Bridge.
The Details Are Shocking: 👇
• The Beating: A 16-year-old boy named Artem was pepper-sprayed and struck in the head. Once he fell, the attackers brutally kicked him repeatedly. He is currently hospitalized with a fractured skull and severe facial trauma. 🏥🤕
• Over the Edge: In a terrifying turn, the attackers attempted to throw another teenager over the bridge railing and into the Vistula River! The boy only survived because he managed to grip the metal bars with all his strength. 🌊😰
• The Rescue: The violence only stopped when a friend of the victims spotted a passing police patrol car and ran to flag it down, causing the mob to scatter.
🕵️♂️ The Arrests: „Tears in Handcuffs”
Plainclothes detectives tracked down and arrested the suspects one by one over several hours. All five are Polish nationals aged 15 to 18, well-known to local police for prior offenses:
1. The Adults (Ages 17 & 18): Prosecutors are charging them as adults. They face up to 8 years in prison for assault with a dangerous weapon. ⚖️⛓️
2. **The Minors (Two 15-year-olds & one 16-year-old): A family court has already ordered them to be placed into a juvenile detention center.
3. The Reaction: According to insider reports, one of the older suspects completely broke down in tears the moment officers slapped handcuffs on him at an auto repair shop in Marki. 😢🔗
