A development in the October attack investigation
On 30 October 2026, police announced the arrest of a 30-year-old man suspected of attacking two bus passengers with a knife in Warsaw. The attack occurred in October, rather than on the day of the announcement.
Police say the Ukrainian victims were injured and taken to hospital. Investigators link the attack to the victims’ nationality. That is the account they have presented and remains subject to assessment by the court.
The detainee faces three charges relating to the attack and a separate incident involving threats. A court remanded him for three months. The Warsaw-Żoliborz district prosecutor supervises the investigation; no conviction for this attack has been reported.
