ZAGREB ZAGREB, July 6 (Hina) - Two Romany boys were assaulted by a skinhead youth in a downtown Zagreb mall on Thursday evening, while in a nearby square only ten minutes later, another skinhead hit a girl he thought was a Romany.
According to Zagreb policy, Danijel S., a 23-year-old self-declared skinhead, was inebriated when he started hitting two Romany brothers, aged seven and four, with his fists and feet. The boys managed to escape. Their father reported the assault but refused to take them to see a doctor. Danijel S. was arrested. The other assault took place on King Tomislav Square, when Marko M., 30, another self-declared skinhead who was also drunk, assaulted a 17-year-old girl from the back. He assumed she was a Romany due to her dark complexion and hair. He too was arrested. Police said these were the first two assaults in which the attackers declared themselves as skinheads and showed an open intolerance tow
