According to witnesses, a 24-year-old man wearing military camouflage, a helmet and a face covering, drove a black car into the main square area and opened fire on citizens. Footage circulating on social media shows the resulting panic, with people running and seeking shelter in nearby shops.

Police intervened and managed to stop the perpetrator, who was injured during the clash with officers and transported to the hospital. Authorities confirmed that he is a 24-year-old Polish citizen, who is suspected of acting alone.

During a search of his vehicle, several weapons and ammunition were seized, while military equipment, a backpack and a bayonet were also found in the trunk. According to police, the perpetrator may have used an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle. The motives for the attack remain unclear.
