Police reinforcements were called out in the township of Jeziorno, in the district of Tarnopol, in Eastern Galicia, to disperse a mob which attacked Jews who were passing through the streets, and smashed the windows in a number of Jewish houses. The trouble started with a drunken driver named Slowik, who was molesting Jews in the streets. He was arrested and taken to the police station, and after the charge sheet was filled in he was released, whereupon he collected a score of his friends, and for a whole hour they terrorised the Jewish population, until the police reinforcements dispersed the mob.
