Tusk blames Nawrocki and Kaczyński for rising aggression after police officer injured in Warsaw incident

On Friday, police units guarding a demonstration near the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw moved to a nearby building on Marszałkowska Street that hosts the office of anti-communist activist Adam Borowski. Officers spotted a nervous man, attempted to verify his identity, and chased him when he tried to run. Inside the premises, the man assaulted a policewoman, striking her in the head and causing an injury that led to her hospitalization.

The suspect was subdued, handcuffed, and a knife hidden under his jacket was recovered, though there is no indication it was used. Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded on X, stating that the political responsibility for the increase in aggression rests with Nawrocki and Jarosław Kaczyński. Kaczyński later labeled the episode a "forceful attack" on Borowski’s office, citing broken windows and injuries to occupants.

Former deputy prime minister Piotr Gliński condemned the police, calling them "ZOMO" sent by the ruling authorities to pacify Borowski’s office. Telewizja Republika reported that one of the detained men lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital while still in handcuffs.
