Several cafes owned by people of immigrant origin have been attacked in Poland, days after a Tunisian cook at a kebab restaurant stabbed a Polish man to death, local media reported.
The stabbing on New Year’s Eve triggered mass riots in the Polish city of Elk. The Tunisian was charged on Monday with a murder for killing the 21-year-old Pole who stole two bottles of drink.
Unknown attackers hurled a Molotov cocktail overnight into an Egyptian-owned kebab cafe in the city of Wroclaw, starting a fire.
A police spokesman told the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper a racist attack was not ruled out.
This came just days after another kebab cafe owned by a Kurd was pelted with stones in Wroclaw.
