They stole the 350 euros I had for gifts and my phone and disappeared.” he added.
According to him, there was no communication before the attack. Kozák also spoke about the perpetrators. “I couldn’t identify them, but they were children. I learned from the people at the station that they are from Kysúc and that they do this regularly. There are also ten of them. They surround the victim, pacify them, rob them and flee to the train. They always do this just before the departure of the train, which they quickly board,” he shared his startling findings.
Kozak ended up in the hands of paramedics. “They performed comprehensive examinations on me in the hospital, where they found a mild concussion. I had it with every attack. Fortunately, I don’t have a brain bleed. But I’ve already been to the emergency room twice because I’m in pain. My sled is swollen, my teeth hurt, my left leg and arm are completely bruised, and I can hardly see in my left eye. It’s also swollen and with a monocle,” he listed his injuries.
