Ukrainian man kills one, wounds four in Poland abbey knife attack
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy denounces 'horrific crime' after 31-year-old attacks clergy, worshippers in border town.
One person was killed and four others injured when a man armed with a knife attacked clergy and worshippers at a Catholic monastery in southern Poland.
Police said the 31-year-old attacker, a Ukrainian national, went on a stabbing spree at the 17th-century Benedictine abbey in Jaroslaw, some 30km (19 miles) from the border with Ukraine, on Thursday morning.
The suspect, who had entered Poland from Germany earlier in the day, reportedly grabbed a knife from the abbey’s kitchen and attacked four men and one woman, including a priest in a confessional, police said.
Prosecutors said the attacker was headed for a nearby border crossing back into Ukraine but instead went to the abbey.
