Jerzy Andrzejewski explained to him that alcohol is not sold in the bar. The attacker reacted aggressively to this by hitting the owner in the face.
Then the attacker demanded that the money be released from the registry and tried to get behind the counter. Andrzejewski did not intend to quit and faced the aggressor. As he relates:
‘– He started jerking me around, tore my shirt and wanted me to give him the money. erstwhile I didn't react, he decided to go behind the counter. Then I moved towards him to prevent it.”
