The Incident
Around 15:00 on August 24, the 35-year-old woman came to acquaintances with a broken head, bleeding from the ear, and multiple hematomas. She told them her cohabitant regularly uses force against her, and she cannot leave him because she lost her own housing in a fire. The acquaintances called the hotline 1146, where after clarifying details they were advised to call an ambulance.
Medical Response
The ambulance took the woman to City Clinical Hospital No. 1 (former TAPOiCh), where doctors treated the ear wound and performed a primary examination. Full diagnosis of the head trauma required additional examination, but the clinic lacked the necessary equipment. She was then transported by another ambulance to a second hospital, where medics classified the injuries as a bruise and discharged her home, despite companions stating the domestic violence.
Police Response
In the evening, a prevention inspector arrived at the woman's location. According to witnesses, instead of starting an investigation and taking protective measures, he proposed she write a statement of no claims against her cohabitant. After that, all actions ceased, and the woman's acquaintances now seriously fear for her safety.
