On July 2, 2024, an incident occurred on the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) train involving Bakuani Diasivi, who, along with his partner, sat next to an 11-year-old boy and his family. The family was conversing in Polish and laughing when Diasivi aggressively confronted the boy with vulgar remarks about his laughter and what he was looking at. This escalated when the boy's older sister defended him, leading to a physical altercation that resulted in Diasivi striking the child in the face.

The police were called to the scene, and Diasivi was arrested at Lansdowne Road station, where he confessed to the assault during voluntary questioning. He attempted to justify his actions by claiming that the boy had tried to strike his partner. The case went to court, and during the proceedings, it was revealed that there were prior convictions in Diasivi’s history. His behavior raised alarming concerns about aggressiveness toward minors and the implications of his actions on public safety in transit environments.

The verdict has led to significant public outcry in Poland, where many view the incident not only as a serious assault on a minor but also as a reflection of rising violence and intolerance in society. It underscores the need for protective measures within public transport systems and the importance of addressing aggression against children, prompting discussions about the broader societal implications of such behavior in both Poland and abroad.
