It started with picking on a passenger.
The event took place on the evening of 5 August in the tram line 50 and in the area of the Bezenowska halt in Krakow. According to witnesses, a group of men were picking on 1 of the passengers. 2 another men stood up for her, followed by a fight.
The Małopolska police reported that 1 of the interveners was to be injured, but did not request medical assistance. A video of the incidental was released online. [Virtual Poland](https://awajeści.wp.pl/krakow/sceny-grozy-w-krakow-group-aggresov-attacked-in-tram-7316153567217728a) did not print it due to drastic scenes and profanity.
Patrol didn't find the aggressors.
A patrol has been deployed. Officers checked the area, but did not uncover anyone active in the attack. Police besides reported that the men who defended the passengers could make an authoritative notification. Until the publication of the origin material, specified announcement had not been received.
That's an crucial reservation. Recording and witness reports may aid the services, but the proceedings request to safeguard evidence, identify participants and interrogate the victims. The work of circumstantial persons must not be prejudged before carrying out these activities.
One of the witness' media coverage described the group as foreigners. However, the police in the aforementioned communication did not confirm the nationality of the participants. So there is no reason to attribute a circumstantial origin to them. safety doesn't benefit from gossip. He gains from an efficient investigation and a conviction based on evidence.
Passenger courage and state duty
Two men who responded to harassing women showed civic courage. In specified a situation, the first step should besides be to call the emergency number, to notify the driver and to keep the video to the police. Direct intervention may entail a serious risk, especially if it is not known whether the attackers have dangerous tools.
The passenger has the right to anticipate the journey by public transport to be safe. The carrier, local government and police are liable for procedures, monitoring and fast response. The camera itself does not defend a man at the time of the attack. It must lead to the recognition of perpetrators and effective conduct.
Security in public space
The usual freedom of Poles is at stake: the anticipation of returning home without fear that no 1 will respond to aggression in a crowded tram. The State should consistently prosecute perpetrators regardless of their nationality, origin or status. The same rules are intended to defend all passenger and bind all attacker.
The Krakow case should not vanish along with another recording on social media. We request evidence from the victims, safety of the movie and recognition of the participants. Only then can the court settle the blame. Public order begins where the courage of citizens meets effective action of the institutions.
