A 21-year-old Nigerian citizen allegedly attacked another patron at a local gym in Katowice, according to the “Służby w akcji” social media profile, which reports on the activities of uniformed services. A video posted alongside the account’s report appears to show police detaining a Black man following the incident.
The alleged attack took place in the afternoon hours at an unspecified gym facility. “Służby w akcji” reports that police responded immediately and apprehended an agitated, aggressive man. The person he reportedly attacked was transported to a hospital for treatment.
It remains unclear what motivated the alleged assault. According to the post, the attacker used a training hammer in the course of the incident. Footage shared online suggests that at least six police officers were involved in subduing the suspect, who initially resisted arrest.
No official statement has been released by law enforcement about the suspect’s motives or the extent of the victim’s injuries. Further details, including the exact circumstances leading up to the incident, have yet to be confirmed. This is a developing story; updates are expected as more information becomes available.
