Thief pilfers exciting sports accessory from youthful tennis devotee's idol's possession
In a surprising turn of events at the US Open, a Polish businessman has found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The viral video showing a man snatching a cap from a young tennis fan during the tournament has caused a stir in Poland and beyond.
The man in question is Piotr Szczerek, the owner of road construction company "Drogbruk." Szczerek, who runs a company specializing in paving stones and precast concrete, was identified as the cap thief after the video was posted online over the weekend and garnered millions of views.
The cap belonged to Kamil Majchrzak, a Polish tennis player who was making a name for himself at the tournament. Majchrzak, who was unaware of the incident at first, took to social media to search for the boy. His efforts paid off when he met the boy again on Saturday and presented him with a gift bag including another cap.
Szczerek, in a statement on his company's Instagram account, apologized for his actions. He claimed he took the cap in excitement over Majchrzak's victory, assuming it was a gift for his sons. However, fake statements allegedly from Szczerek circulated online, causing further unrest.
The incident has caused a significant backlash for Szczerek and his company. Over 14,000 mostly negative opinions have gathered on the Polish job portal Gowork, and Trustpilot had to temporarily close comments under the company's entry due to the incident. The company is listed as an important sponsor on the Polish Tennis Association's website, but this association may now be under scrutiny.
CNN reported that Majchrzak and the boy posed for a photo together, and the tennis player later shared the encounter on his Instagram stories. The incident has certainly made for an unforgettable experience for the young fan, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of sportsmanship and respect for all fans.
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how this incident will affect Szczerek and his company in the long run. For now, the focus remains on Majchrzak's impressive performance at the US Open and the heartwarming reunion between him and the young fan.
