Knife Attack at Polish Benedictine Abbey Kills One, Injures FourPreviousNext

A stabbing at a Benedictine abbey in Jarosław, southeastern Poland, on September 24 left one priest dead and four others injured, including clergy and laypeople. The 31-year-old Ukrainian suspect, who reportedly entered Poland from Germany the same day, was detained at the scene. The attack occurred around 9:30 a.m. during Mass, with the assailant using a kitchen knife taken from the premises. Authorities are investigating the motive, while local officials declared a mourning period.
