Man randomly attacks people in Prague 6, police searching for additional victims

A man has been randomly attacking people in Prague 6, and the police are searching for additional victims. The suspect is currently in a psychiatric hospital, and after his release, detectives will investigate the motive for his actions.

According to the police, the man punched at least seven people on Monday evening in Prague’s Dejvice district. Detectives suspect the twenty-three-year-old man of punching five adult women and two children in the face. The attacks occurred on Verdunská, Bubenečská, and Raisova streets and on a playground at Pushkin Square in Prague 6. The attacker caused various injuries to the women, some of whom had to take time off work.

The attacker was apprehended on the spot by the husband of one of the victims, who handed him over to summoned guards and police officers. Singer Michal Hrůza also pacified the attacker.

The suspect is currently being held in a psychiatric hospital, and the police are looking for more possible victims. Detectives have discovered that at least one unidentified girl was also attacked in the same manner, and they now need to contact her. Victims and any additional witnesses are encouraged to call the 158 hotlines.

The case is being investigated for suspicion of hooliganism and bodily harm, and if convicted, the perpetrator faces up to five years in prison because the crime was committed against a child.

The motive behind the attacker’s actions is still unclear, and detectives will investigate it after his release from the psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, the police are warning people to be cautious and report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. The attacks have caused fear and anxiety among residents of Prague 6, and the police are doing their best to apprehend the perpetrator and ensure the safety of the public.
