A severed head has reportedly been discovered after an axe attack at the University of Warsaw in Poland<\/a>. A woman’s head was found on the campus of the University of Warsaw following an attack that also injured a security guard, according to local reports.<\/p>\n

Police said both victims were targeted by a 22-year-old Polish man who was detained by authorities. The woman who died was a porter at the university, Polsat News reported. Police<\/a> officers found the body of a woman and a severed head at the city centre university shortly before 7pm on Wednesday, May 7, with an axe also discovered nearby.<\/p>\n

Warsaw police said the 22-year-old attacker was a Polish citizen who entered the campus earlier today and “attacked the people there with an axe”.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Piotr Antoni Skiba confirmed to Interia that there were “two injured parties” following “an action by a third party” on the grounds of the university.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the district prosecutor’s office also confirmed that a female administrative employee of the university had been killed at the scene, with a security guard injured and taken to hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

They told Reuters that the 22-year-old had entered an auditorium at the university before launching the attack.<\/p>\n

The gory incident took place near Krakowskie Przedmie\u015bcie Street, one of the best-known streets in Poland’s capital city, which runs through the centre of Warsaw, connecting Nowy \u015awiat with Plac Zamkowy.<\/p>\n

Reports on social media suggest that the university remains under lockdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A severed head has reportedly been discovered after an axe attack at the University of Warsaw in Poland.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[40028,40027,12,770,40026,26,26102],"class_list":{"0":"post-82644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-ax-attack","9":"tag-axe-attack","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-poland","12":"tag-university-of-warsaw","13":"tag-world","14":"tag-world-section"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114468217552227519","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
