After a few minutes they met the Czechs again. Uhl asked her and asked why they had knocked down Leichmann. The Czechs took this question as an occasion to fall over both of them. Leichman was beaten down and kicked with his feet until he was unconscious. Uhl was injured in the fight with a knife close to his right eye and right cheek.
