Croatian police reveal details of attack on Slovenian in Medulin

A 41-year-old Croatian man has been arrested following a violent attack on two Slovenians in Medulin, Croatia. The incident occurred on July 18th around 4 AM at the beach, where the suspect, along with three other men, physically assaulted the two Slovenians after they attempted to approach women in their group. According to police reports, the attackers initially engaged in a verbal altercation before turning physical, during which the suspect and his companions tackled the victims to the ground and began beating them. The 26-year-old Slovenian suffered severe injuries, while his 23-year-old friend sustained less serious wounds. The victim provided detailed accounts to the media, stating he and his friend did not know the attackers and had no prior communication with them. Police investigations revealed that the Slovenians were attempting to interact with the women in the group, and the attack was triggered by an inappropriate comment made by one of the Slovenians. The suspect has been detained, while the remaining three alleged perpetrators are still at large.

Young Slovenian woman attacked in Medulin: one with multiple facial fractures

Two Slovenian citizens, aged 26 and 23, were attacked in Medulin, Croatia, during the early hours of Saturday. The 26-year-old suffered multiple facial fractures, including to his cheekbone, nose, and jaw, according to medical documentation shared by a portal. He described the attackers as younger men between 18 and 24 years old, accompanied by women who tried to stop them. The attack occurred around 4 AM after they returned from a bar.
