Tragedy Strikes at University of Warsaw: Axe Attack Claims Life

A shocking and brutal attack has led to the death of a university staff member in Warsaw, bringing sorrow to the academic community.


On Wednesday evening, a tragic incident unfolded at the University of Warsaw when a 53-year-old female porter was fatally attacked with an axe. The assault occurred in the main auditorium, and a university security guard who attempted to intervene was also seriously injured. A 22-year-old law student has been arrested in connection with the attack, though his motives remain unclear. The university community has expressed profound grief, declaring a day of mourning as classes were canceled. Rector Alojzy Nowak extended sympathies to the victim's family, while officials, including Justice Minister Adam Bodnar and Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, condemned the violence as a "macabre crime."

In light of this tragedy, planned events such as the annual Juwenalia music festival have also been canceled, reflecting the deep impact of this violent episode on the university's spirit and community.
