The police detained two men who allegedly chased a couple to their apartment in Krakow's Nowa Huta and then tried to break down the door. While running after the victims, one of the aggressors fell and injured himself with a knife. The 39- and 43-year-old are awaiting charges in police custody.
On Wednesday evening, in one of the housing estates in Nowa Huta in Kraków, two men accosted a couple walking. The aggressors got into an argument with passers-by. At one point, the couple started running away, and the men ran after them, shouting threats. One of the attackers had a knife.
– While chasing the pair, one of them fell and injured himself with a knife. The couple managed to run to the apartment and close the door, but the attackers damaged it, said Commissioner Piotr Szpiech, press officer of the Krakow police, in an interview with tvn24.pl.
They detained the attackers, along with three other people
The men finally gave up and ran away. The police arrived at the scene and determined where the attackers were. The officers detained two men, aged 39 and 43, who were under the influence of alcohol.
– There were three other people in the apartment with them. It turned out that they were wanted, so they were also detained, Szpiech said.
The 39- and 43-year-old are now in police custody awaiting charges. They will most likely be responsible for making criminal threats to the couple and damaging property – the destroyed door of the apartment.
