At the MediaMarkt electrical goods hypermarket in Łódz, Poland, twelve
people were injured, and cash tills and information stands were
destroyed on the night from Thursday 8 Jan to Friday 9 Jan.

Cut-prices sales on many products were expected to start at midnight of
Thursday evening. Before midnight, several thousand people had already
gathered in front of the store.

At midnight the onslaught started. Police used truncheons to control
the unruly crowd. In the confusion, many information points and cash tills
were destroyed, and many products were distributed without even the low sales
price being paid.
