"He wasn't walking like he was drunk, but like he was really cool." Aliaksandra Herasimenia spoke in more detail about the attack
The Olympic medalist says she immediately noticed the future attacker.
— On Friday morning, I was on my business at the 'Warsaw-West' bus station. As I was returning to the parking lot to my car, a man was walking towards me — tall, thin, of Slavic appearance. I noticed that he was walking somewhat swaggeringly, or something, swaying from side to side. Not like a drunkard, but as if he was really cool.
Aliaksandra says she was lost in thought, so she didn't pay much attention to the stranger. The athlete didn't see anything that would have seriously alarmed her.
— As we drew level, I felt a strong blow to the head. For the first minute, I was in shock and didn't understand what had happened. Then I turned around. He stood a short distance away and looked at me. Of course, my first thought was to go over and sort things out. But I weighed all the pros and cons. I realized he was a strong man, and I was a woman.
The athlete clarifies that the attacker said nothing to her — neither before the blow nor after.
Aliaksandra drove away, but then decided that the incident shouldn't be left unaddressed.
— If he's sick in some way, then he needs to be treated. So a bit later, I went to the police and filed a report. Now I'm waiting for the results. I feel good now; after all, three days have passed. Initially, my head was spinning, and my neck and back ached.
