Homeless woman penetrated by a beer bottle in public

A half-naked woman surrounded by a group of homeless men was found by constables at Dornych st. on Sunday night. All members of the suspicious group were obviously drunk and one witness told the constables that the men had been penetrating the woman with a beer bottle.

The unconscious object of desire was transported to hospital and the incident is now investigated by police.

Donkey the traveller

The metropolitan police was contacted by a man driving throught Ořešín on Monday morning. The driver saw a donkey hanging around Klimešova st. The constables found out that the animal belongs to an inhabitant of the quater and is well known in the neighbourhood for its harmless trips.

“When the constables were leaving Ořešín, the donkey was peacefully returning to its barn,” reported the spokesperson of MP Denisa Kapitančiková.

Police car attacked by a skinhead

The Saturday night was even wilder than usual. Constables were contacted by people disturbed by a loud party held at Starobrněnská st. in the centre of Brno. The policemen found out that there were several dozens of right-wing radicals celebrating in one of the pubs, who denied to quiet down.

The conflict escalated when one of the skinheads attacked a police car. He was pursued for approx. 200 metres and then the constables had to use force to disarm him. The hooligan is now investigated by police, as well as other people involved in the loud party.
