A Polish diplomat, returning to Moscow from a business trip in Irkutsk, was beaten on a plane on July 11, RBC reports, citing the spokesman for the Polish Foreign Ministry, Artur Lompart.
The Polish diplomat was attacked by a “probably mentally unstable person” and was detained, the ministry spokesman added. The injured diplomat was provided with the necessary assistance, and the Russian police were notified about the incident.
The beaten diplomat has already returned to Poland, Lompart added.
The Polish Embassy in Moscow appealed to the Russian authorities with a request to find out all the circumstances of the incident and bring the culprit to justice, he emphasized.
Lompart did not disclose the name and position of the diplomat. RBC sent a request about what happened to the Polish Foreign Ministry and the country's embassy in Moscow.
