CroatiaZvonko L., a 60-year-old man from Vukovar, was sentenced by the Zagreb Municipal Court for attacking a Zagrebparking employee, Danijel K., after receiving a parking ticket at the Jarun market lot. The incident occurred in May 2022 when Zvonko became angry over the fine and attacked Danijel with an axe handle. According to court testimony, Zvonko admitted to striking Danijel but claimed he did not intend to cause serious harm. Danijel described being physically assaulted, including being hit with the axe handle on the back of his head, resulting in injuries such as bruises, lacerations, and a fractured skull vault. While prosecutors requested eight months in prison, the court handed down a one-year sentence, which will not be served unless Zvonko commits another offense within five years.
