Cleaver attack in the center of Warsaw. 37-year-old man charged with attempted murder

On Thursday, October 22, at ul. There was a knife attack on Nowogrodzka Street in the center of Warsaw. A 37-year-old Indian citizen seriously injured his 58-year-old compatriot and fled. He was caught after a few hours in Warsaw's Wola district.

As RMF FM reporter Krzysztof Zasada found out, today at the Warsaw Śródmieście District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw there was an attempt to interrogate the 37-year-old - with the participation of an appointed defense lawyer. The suspect resides in Poland legally with his family.

The man was charged with attempted murder by striking the victim several times with a cleaver with a 17-centimeter blade in the head, neck and hands, which caused injuries classified by the forensic doctor as moderate. He did not achieve the intended act through defensive actions taken by the injured party, said Piotr Antoni Skiba, spokesman for the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw.

The man did not admit to committing the act he was accused of and refused to provide explanations. He also refused to answer questions. The prosecutor decided that an application for pre-trial detention of the suspect would be submitted today - for three months.
