Former police officers convicted: Tragic intervention in Lublin

The court found that officers Arkadiusz K. and Wojciech K. used excessive force during an intervention that led to a man's death in August 2020. The incident began when police responded to reports of an aggressive individual attacking passersby. Upon arrival, the officers witnessed the man assaulting an elderly woman. Arkadiusz K. attempted to chase the suspect, while Wojciech K. blocked his escape. Despite their efforts, the man died shortly after the intervention, with discrepancies between police accounts and witness testimonies. The ruling is not yet final.
