On 12 July, an adult Polish man verbally abused Ukrainian girls, reportedly aged 12, on a city bus after hearing them speak Ukrainian. According to witnesses and video recordings, he repeatedly used anti-Ukrainian insults, told them to 'go back to Ukraine', and intimidated them. The girls asked him not to touch them.

The incident was recorded and spread on social media. Police opened proceedings, secured evidence, and identified the suspect. Poland's Interior Minister later announced that the man had been detained. The municipal transport operator stated that the suspect was one of its employees, currently on sick leave, and announced disciplinary action and a criminal complaint, describing the incident as likely motivated by the victims' nationality.
