The attack took place in Zagreb on Saturday, September 5th. just before the end of the so-called Freedom Festival, when Sangulin was approached by a man who asked him who he worked for, and after the cameraman answered, he began to insult him rudely. Then he was joined by a janitor who wore a T-shirt with the inscription “Freedom Festival”. On the recording published by Index.hr, volleys of insults can be heard against the entire Index editorial office, and the attack culminated when the cameraman had his mask torn off his face and his mobile phone removed from his hand. Further escalation, according to Index, was prevented by a plainclothes police officer.
