Czech Police investigate runner assault in Klánovice forest
Prague police are investigating an assault that occurred on September 17 in the Klánovice forest, where an unknown man allegedly attacked a runner with a stick after an initial verbal confrontation. The victim sustained significant injuries, including a laceration to the head and a wrist injury requiring surgery.
Criminal investigators have obtained a distinct genetic profile from biological evidence found at the scene. Consequently, authorities are considering conducting mass DNA sampling in the vicinity of the incident to identify the suspect. Police have also released an identikit of the attacker and are urging the individual to surrender to authorities or contact the investigating commissioner directly. Officials noted that new information suggests the circumstances of the incident may be more complex than initially reported.
