Eighteen-year-old under the influence of alcohol attacks police officer and minor in Zagreb
In the early morning hours of 19 June 2026 in central Zagreb, an 18-year-old under the influence of alcohol committed a series of violent acts. The Zagreb Police concluded their investigation and handed over the suspect to the competent detention supervisor, and submitted a criminal report to the Municipal Criminal State Attorney's Office in Zagreb, according to 24sata.
Police officers received notification around 1 o'clock after midnight about an injured minor on Tkalčićeva Street. Upon arriving at the scene, they found a boy with visible head injuries. Through investigation, they learned that the suspect had probably fled towards Ulica Opatovina.
On that street, police officers noticed a young man who was carrying glass bottles. After ordering him to throw them on the ground, he did so, but then sharply pushed one of them, knocked him to the ground and tried to flee. Officers caught up with him and used physical force and handcuffs to subdue him and prevent further escape.
During criminal investigation, it was established that the individual was an adult with an alcohol level of 1.17 g/kg measured. The police officer he attacked sustained minor bodily injuries, whilst the young man sustained no injuries.
