Physical attack in Warszawa Śródmieście

A woman from Georgia, approximately 50 years old, was attacked at night on a Warsaw N33 bus after speaking Russian on the phone. According to a witness report, an unknown man sprayed pepper gas directly into her eyes without any apparent provocation, stole nothing, and escaped after leaving the bus at the Rozbrat stop.

The victim was helped by other passengers, including a Ukrainian woman. Police were called, but the witness reported that officers initially treated the incident as unlikely to proceed because nothing had been stolen and described it as not being a robbery.
