An immediate intervention by two surgeons who happened to be near the main square in Kraków is believed to have saved the life of a police officer seriously wounded during the armed attack that shook the Polish city on Saturday, shortly before 3:00 p.m. local time. The attack left six people dead and 15 others injured. The two police officers who confronted the perpetrator remained in critical condition and came out of their coma on Sunday. Among the victims were a British citizen, an Austrian woman and four Polish citizens. The suspect, a 24-year-old Pole, is in critical health condition, and his identity has not been made public by the authorities. The attack lasted about three minutes and caused widespread panic, with citizens and tourists running to save their lives. The two doctors were having lunch with their families near the Main Square when they heard the gunshots.
