At least three children were attacked and beaten last night in the Podgorica neighborhood of Blok 5, and police are searching for a group of hooligans who hit them with fists and bars.
The incident happened last night, shortly after 20 p.m., the mother of one of the beaten boys told Vijesti.
The Police Directorate unofficially told Vijesti that the incident had been reported.
The mother of one of the beaten teenagers said that her son was walking last night with his friend and that they saw a group of about thirty massacred people near the Red Cross, who had bars in their hands.
"When my son and his friend were returning from the city center, where they went for a walk, on the pedestrian bridge, on the side near the Red Cross, they saw the group and waited for them to disperse so they could safely pass home. When they arrived at Block 5, where we live, on the part of the road between blocks 5 and 6, a group of 20-30 of them surrounded them and first started hitting my son with bars, who did not defend himself, only protected himself with his hands. They pulled his jacket, asked where he lives, then they moved on to his friend who fell to the ground, protected his head with his hands, and also sustained injuries to his hands from the bars and kicking. The girl who was with them was not injured, they only surrounded her and frightened her. Then a random passerby, an elderly gentleman, came by and reported all this to the police. The hooligans ran away, and our children stayed and waited for the police," she told Vijesti.
She pointed out that she was called by the Podgorica police at around 21.30:XNUMX p.m., and that she went there with her husband.
"There, the children gave statements in the presence of their parents, after which we went to the Children's Hospital, where they were diagnosed with minor injuries," she said.
She added that they later learned that the hooligans continued to go through the Block and, not far from where their children were attacked, attacked two more children.
"We learned that the same group was reported twice last night, but the police were unable to find them," said the mother of the beaten fourteen-year-old.
She added that her son's friend, who was also beaten, is a year younger than the girl.
"They hit my son above the upper arm with a bar, then with a bar in the thigh, and with a fist in the back of the head. They knocked the other boy to the ground, he covered his head with his hands, they mutilated his hands when they kicked him and hit him with bars... It's lucky that man came along, because who knows how much they would have beaten them," she said.
She added that, as they were leaving the Security Department, they met fellow citizens and neighbors from Block 5, whose children were attacked after theirs.
"One boy ran into the entrance, to the neighbors on the first floor, to save him, and the other one's arm was probably broken," she said.
