After that, the Pole attacked two other men, father and son, calling them "Bandera". He broke the arm of one of them. Both of the beaten turned out to be Polish citizens.

At the end of July in Poland had a similar case. In Bydgoszcz, a 42-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were detained, who are suspected of attacking a married couple from Belarus. The attackers mistook Belarusians for Ukrainians. Poles insulted the couple because of their accent, and a 53-year-old man was beaten until he bled.
