Preliminary investigations revealed that several people may have been involved in the fight. Among them was 30-year-old Rafał Artur Pawlak. According to Bild, the incident was captured on several cameras, showing Pawlak hitting the victim in the face. Another man reportedly kicked the 57-year-old in the buttocks.
