Thomas, a 41-one-year-old P.E. teacher from Gorzow Wielkopolski reacted to a group of youths shouting “Seig Heil” on a street corner and as a result was attacked and stabbed in the neck with a knife.

Telling the group not to shout Nazi slogans, they replied, “Poland’s for the Poles. Hitler would have sorted you out.”

They attacked him, unaware that he was a wrestler of 20 years’ experience and a judo instructor. He quickly dealt with two of his assailants, but while phoning the police the third suddenly attacked him with a knife, stabbing him in the neck before running away.

Bleeding profusely, Thomas made it to hospital where the life-threatening wound was treated. Police soon arrested 26-year-old Zbigniew B. who has been remanded in custody.

Thomas says he isn’t a hero or particularly brave but tackles hooliganism head on because, “…that’s the way I was brought up.” Police are still seeking the other two assailants.
