This is the moment a cowardly thug creeps up behind a “gypsy” woman and punches her in the head before kicking her in the face as she lies on the ground.

The shocking incident took place in the city of Uroshevac in the district of Ferizaj in southern Kosovo as the unnamed victim was walking down the street.

In the video, the woman can be seen walking with her back to the camera when a young thug, who has not been identified, suddenly runs up behind her and punches her in the head.

She collapses to the ground in a heap from the force and the yob then repeatedly kicks her in the head as she lies on the ground.

According to local media, the woman is a gypsy and this is not the first time a gypsy woman has been attacked recently, with another case happening in the town of Lipljan in the district of Pristina in central Kosovo where a suspect has been arrested.

It is unclear if a police investigation has been launched into the case and no arrests have been reported. No motive has been provided for the attack and there are no updates on the condition of the woman.

Netizen ‘Carlo Gambino’ commented: “A murder attempt.”

While ‘Lav Jelenovic BIP’ added: “An attack on a woman from the back? He does not have the courage to attack her from the front.”

And ‘GruGed’ added: “For such things, life imprisonment at psychiatry clinic and maybe a death sentence.”
