Action During a Knife Attack
General Tomasz Bąk, a military science doctor, advised the public in an interview with Nowiny24: “It is unquestionable that it is best to neutralize such an attacker. If you are unable to do so, seek a safe location and hide there.” The police emphasized that self-defense methods can be varied. “If you are attacked, you have the right to defend yourself. Use anything available to repel the attack: umbrellas, shoelaces, spray paint, keys, etc. When fighting for your health or life, your self-defense rights are very broad,” stated the Będzin County Police Command.
