The assault took place right next to the city police premises, Czech news site Novinky reports. Police are now investigating the incident.
What the video shows
A witness sent a video of the attack to CNN Prima News. It shows the group approaching the victim, who is then hit with fists and feet. According to available information, the victim did not know his attackers. It is unclear whether there was a verbal altercation before the fight.
Not the first incident?
