Violent Encounter and Injuries
According to Uulu, a group of teenagers on bicycles confronted him at the traffic light, and when he tried to pass them, one of them threw a bottle of water into his car. The situation quickly escalated when Uulu got out of his car and was surrounded by about 30 teenagers, leading to a violent attack. The assailants punched and kicked him, resulting in a broken leg and severe cuts and lacerations.
The attack was captured on video by a witness, showing the brutal nature of the assault. Despite several adults trying to intervene, the teenagers continued their violent behavior, stealing items from Uulu’s car and causing extensive damage.
