A man armed with a knife stabs people at a Benedictine abbey in Poland, killing one priest and injuring four others, local authorities and prosecutors say. Police arrest a Ukrainian suspect at the scene in Jarosław, according to multiple outlets.
The attack targets clergy and worshippers at the Benedictine Sisters monastery on the abbey’s grounds. Reporting says the suspect takes a knife from a kitchen at the site and attacks a woman and four men, including a priest who is in a confessional. Outlets describe the injured as suffering serious injuries, with authorities and local media confirming the casualties.
While all accounts focus on the same incident and broad details of the suspect’s nationality, arrest, and number of victims, some vary in how they frame the event. Several outlets emphasize the priest’s death and the total injured, while others highlight the sequence of actions, including the knife being taken from the kitchen and the setting of the confessional. Coverage is consistent that the suspect is detained following the stabbing in southeastern/southern Poland.
