In Adana, the Polat family was assaulted by their neighbors after a dispute over parking that occurred two months apart. According to allegations, during the first argument, a neighbor broke the father's teeth, and in the second fight, the neighbor stabbed the mother and son. While the family obtained a medical report for the assault and filed a complaint, the neighbor at the center of the allegations also claimed to have been assaulted and filed a complaint.
The Polat family living in Adana had an argument with their neighbor I.S. on September 18 over vehicle parking. As the argument escalated, I.S. allegedly assaulted Nafız Polat (61) and his wife Nazmiye Polat (61). Nafız Polat had three front teeth broken, while Nazmiye Polat suffered bruises on her body, and the couple received a medical report for the assault.
MOTHER AND SON WERE ALSO STABBED On November 27, this time I.S. allegedly insulted the Polat couple's son, Furkan Polat (20). A fight broke out again between the parties. I.S. struck Nazmiye Polat in the face and Furkan Polat on the head with a knife he took out of his pocket. While the injured mother and son were taken to the hospital, the family filed a criminal complaint against I.S. after the incident.
NEIGHBOR FILED A COMPLAINT SAYING "I WAS ASSAULTED TOO" I.S. also complained about the family, stating that the rearview mirror of his wife's car was broken, which led to the argument, and that he was also assaulted.
I.S. "HE BROKE MY HUSBAND'S TEETH AND STABBED MY SON AND ME" Nazmiye Polat said, "I.S. had parked his vehicle in front of our house. While he was getting into his car, I spoke to him. We told him that we couldn't enter our house because he parked in front of it. He then cursed and drove his car towards me. After returning from work in the evening, he parked his car in the same place again. When we warned him again, he attacked me this time. He is a COPD patient, he broke my husband's teeth; he also punched me. We received a medical report. Despite two months passing since the fight, he continued his threats. On November 27, another argument broke out, and as the fight escalated, he stabbed my son's head and my face with a knife. Before the attack, he recorded us on video, trying to portray his children as victims. After finishing the video, he sprayed me with pepper spray and attacked my face with his knife. We filed a complaint against him," she said.
"HE SHARED THE VIDEO AS IF WE ATTACKED" Furkan Polat stated, "He was provoking me wherever he saw me. Two months ago, he assaulted my COPD patient father and my mother who has breast cancer. Since that day, he has continued to threaten me, saying 'Be smart.' On November 27, when I went out to the door after dinner, he started to insult me again. When I reminded him that he assaulted my parents, he said, 'I can do it to you too.' During the argument, he recorded me on video. I asked him to back off since he was with his children, but he didn't listen. As the fight escalated, he stabbed me and my mother. He also shared the video on social media as if we had attacked," he said.
"HE WAS PROVOKING ME BY SAYING 'THE SON OF THE MAN WHOSE TEETH I BROKE'" Furkan Polat said, "My only aim was to protect my mother. As soon as the video ended, he sprayed us with pepper spray and attacked us with a knife. It was clear that he came prepared. During his first attack, he also had his children with him and constantly provoked me by saying, 'The son of the man whose teeth I broke, the son of the woman I assaulted.' After the posts, people saw me as guilty, and even my mother and sister were insulted. The truth of the incident is not in the videos; he cut the footage and made us look guilty," he said.
