In Košice, two men attacked a person in a wheelchair. The incident happened at a public transport stop (MHD), where the attackers demanded money and cigarettes from the victim. The police have already charged them with robbery.
The police of the Košice region reported that after an investigation, they identified and detained the suspects. They are now accused of robbery, which carries a serious penalty under Slovak law.
This attack once again raises questions about the safety of vulnerable people. In Slovakia, as in other EU countries, there are programs to protect the rights of all residents, especially people with disabilities. If you or someone you know needs help, organizations like UNHCR Slovakia provide support, including medical and psychosocial assistance.
If you witness a crime or are in danger, call the police immediately at 158.
