A Polish immigrant did not even go to the capital for an hour before he was beaten because he asked for instructions, he claims. Kamil Sobala, 31, was living in the United Kingdom in 2013 and after returning to his county for a while, he decided to return to London with some friends. He arrived at Victoria Station to meet them at a pub on Saturday night, but his phone had died, so he asked some British for instructions. He said: “I wanted to know where to go to charge my phone and where the metro station was. Instead of just saying “sorry I can not help you”, they cursed me. Then they asked me where I was from and I said Poland. “It simply came to our notice then. It is terrible. I’m just scared to go to the store, I can not sleep and I’m scared and I’m full of pain. “My back hurts, as does my eye, my cheek and my face. It was racist. They did not start attacking me until I said I was from Poland. “I was punched until I could not remember anything.” To view this video, enable JavaScript and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Kamil said he turned to alcohol to “drive away the pain” (Image: BPM Media) Kamil was living in the UK in 2013 and had recently decided to move back to London with some friends (Image: BPM Media) Someone in a nearby pub shot a video of Camille being beaten repeatedly. Witnesses called the police, but the Metropolitan Police did not attend the alleged attack. This is due to the fact that the suspects had left and an ambulance had arrived by the time the officers were called – which means that it was not in the highest category of strength of the force. However, police have since spoken to Kamil and other witnesses as part of an investigation into the attack.

Camille was taken to hospital where he woke up “shaken by the experience”. He said he was still struggling, he had even turned to alcohol to “stop the pain”. The Meteorological Police said: “The officers did not attend this incident, but since then they have spoken to both the victim and the witnesses of this attack. Investigations are ongoing to identify the person responsible for the attack. When police receive incident calls, they are graded for a variety of reasons, including whether there is an immediate threat to life. “In this case, the caller stated that the suspect had left the scene and an ambulance had been called, which means that he had not been rated in the highest category for response.” Contact our news team by emailing us at [email protected] For more stories like this, check out our news page.
