Train conductor assaulted at Wrocław station
A passenger allegedly struck the railway employee repeatedly, leaving him with facial injuries and two missing teeth. Police detained a suspect at the scene.
A train conductor was attacked at Wrocław Główny station at about 3 p.m. on October 26 after a service from Kędzierzyn-Koźle arrived. The passenger hit the employee several times in the head and face for reasons that remained unclear.
The incident was reported by inPoland.net.pl on Thursday, October 29. Other crew members locked the train doors, preventing the alleged assailant from leaving before police arrived.
Paramedics treated the conductor and recommended that he be taken to a medical facility for further examination. He sustained facial lacerations, a suspected broken nose and the loss of two teeth.
Railway police officers detained a man suspected of assaulting an official and causing bodily harm. Prosecutors in Wrocław asked a court to place him in pretrial detention, while the alleged offences carry a possible prison term of up to five years.
