One of them insulted the officers with abusive words and threatened them,” reports Staff Sergeant Olga Łukaszewicz, press officer for the District Police Headquarters in Lwówek Śląski.
The spokesperson adds:
The 53-year-old from Lwówek Śląski stressed that if he had a gun, he would shoot the police officers just like the murderer from Racibórz, who shot and killed a police officer during a traffic stop.
