Police identify masked attackers in Bratislava
The police have identified several individuals who reportedly donned masks before attacking other people in Bratislava, but the investigation has found no connection between the incidents, suggesting that the masked individuals selected their targets randomly, according to Bratislava regional police spokesman Michal Szeiff.

"The media-covered audiovisual recordings, which are clearly composed of partial footage, are being analysed by the Bratislava region criminal police, and officers have identified several masked individuals featured in the footage," said the spokesman. He added that they are now determining whether the police were informed about the incidents or possess any related information.

The police are asking the public to contact them if they have been the victims of aggressive behavior by masked men or direct witnesses to such behaviour. They also require assistance in identifying the individuals whose identities are still unknown to them.

It was Novy Cas tabloid daily that first reported about the group of masked individuals last week. The group was physically attacking unsuspecting people in the capital city. It posted videos of the attacks online and displayed neo-Nazi symbols on social media.
