An attack on a Ukrainian man occurred in Poland while he was selling a car. Two Polish men posed as buyers and inflicted 14 stab wounds on him, reports inPoland.
The incident took place in the Polish city of Wrocław on April 26.
According to the publication, 32-year-old Ukrainian Dmytro put his car up for sale. Two men came to inspect it, presenting themselves as potential buyers. After a brief inspection, they said the car suited them, and the man went home to get the documents.
According to the victim, the buyers behaved strangely from the very beginning of the meeting. Later, they asked him to drive them to an ATM to withdraw money. However, they were unable to get cash from 15 ATMs. After that, they went to a Żabka store, but did not withdraw money there either, citing a queue.
When the Ukrainian had already begun to draw up the purchase and sale agreement, the men suddenly attacked him with a knife. The victim managed to unfasten his seatbelt and run out of the car, after which he began calling for help.
As a result of the attack, Dmytro received 14 stab wounds. The attackers fled, but during the escape, one of them dropped a phone, which was later found by the victim.
The man contacted his girlfriend and reached a gas station, where an ambulance and police were called. First aid was provided to him by Ukrainian bystanders. Doctors applied more than 50 stitches, and his life is currently not in danger.
Law enforcement officers detained the attackers.
