The incident took place on Monday, 21 February, in the evening, in Lubań. As reported by the lwowecki.info service, citing the eluban.pl portal, a man who was on a business trip and was a passenger in an Opel decided to leave the vehicle. There would have been nothing unusual about that, had he not done so… while it was moving.

The result? General bruising and a rib injury. The emergency services were called. Lwowecki.pl:

Officers from the District Police Headquarters in Lubań who arrived at the scene determined that the man was intoxicated. He had approximately 2.4 per mille of alcohol in his breath.

Nevertheless, the emergency medical team decided that the man should be taken to hospital.

But that was not the end of it. As asp. szt. Justyna Bujakiewicz-Rodzeń, press officer of the District Police Headquarters in Lubań, told the Lwówek outlet, while being transported by ambulance to hospital, the man violated the bodily integrity of a public official.

When it turned out that the aggressor did not require hospitalisation, he was placed in police custody.

Let us recall. In January, we described a very similar incident that took place on Generała Nila Street in Bolesławiec.

At the time, we reported:

Community police officers from the District Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec arrested a 37-year-old Ukrainian citizen suspected of violating the bodily integrity of a public official. District Police Headquarters:

The offender first obstructed the work of medical emergency responders who were assisting his friend and then struck a female paramedic in the face.

The aggressor was restrained by a second paramedic and then handed over to police officers called to the scene. The incident took place in a public place, in a car park by a shop.

At the time of his arrest, the 37-year-old Ukrainian citizen had 4.8 per mille of alcohol in his system. He has already been charged in the case. He was unable to rationally explain his behaviour. By court decision, he was fined and ordered to pay compensation to the injured woman.

Before the Bolesławiec police statement appeared, a reader informed us about the entire incident. According to the information provided, the situation took place on Saturday, 15 January, at approximately 9:30 p.m., on Generała Nila Street in Bolesławiec. The emergency services were dispatched to an intoxicated man lying on the pavement.

The man in question was indeed under the influence of alcohol, but had no injuries. He did not require hospitalisation either. The police were called to the scene. (The aim was to establish the “injured” man’s place of residence and take him home.)

At that point, one of the witnesses to the incident, a Ukrainian citizen, became aggressive. Reader:

He began provoking the emergency medical team, reducing the distance, verbally harassing them and nudging with his elbow; he walked away and returned several times! At one point, as he was walking past the female paramedic, he struck her cheek with an open hand.

He added that as early as Monday, 17 January, the aggressor appeared before the court and received a PLN 1,500 fine. The 37-year-old will also have to pay PLN 300 in compensation to the injured woman.
