Ukrainian siblings attacked in Polish park over speaking Ukrainian

An adult man and woman verbally abused, threatened and physically assaulted two Ukrainian siblings, a 14-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, in a park near the railway station in Bydgoszcz, Poland, because they were speaking Ukrainian. The attackers twisted a child's arm and threw pieces of a broken toy drone at the boy, scratching him.
