“The victim was a 27 years old Polish national as the incident was mentioned on one of the main Polish websites. Funny how they say that smoking can kill, in this particular case not smoking could kill ;-)”

“Curious to mention the attacker's accent was neither English or Polish. Maybe the victim is Polish, which would help explain why this particular accent has been mentioned (i.e. the attacker had an accent, but his victim recognised that it wasn't Polish).”

“"He was also described as having an accent that was neither English nor Polish". That'll narrow it down, then. Speedy recovery to the victim.”
