Poland is deporting a Ukrainian woman who assaulted a police officer while drunk
Polish authorities have decided to deport a Ukrainian citizen who, while intoxicated, bit a police officer. Due to the injuries he sustained, the officer was forced to seek treatment at an infectious diseases hospital.
The incident occurred on Monday in a residential neighborhood in Zambrów (Podlaskie Voivodeship). Local police received a report about a woman lying on the sidewalk who was unresponsive to attempts to communicate with her. The officers who arrived at the scene had no difficulty determining that she was under the influence of alcohol.
Paramedics who arrived to assist the woman determined that she did not require hospitalization. So the police decided to take her to a detention cell to sober up. She was not at all pleased with this idea.
The 39-year-old woman behaved extremely aggressively when law enforcement officers tried to handcuff her. As the officers were putting her into the police car, she bit one of them.
The victim was taken to an infectious diseases hospital, where he received medical treatment.
After the woman sobered up, she was charged with insulting public officials while they were performing their official duties, as well as with violating an officer’s physical integrity. These offenses are punishable by imprisonment for up to three years.
The police filed a motion to deport the Ukrainian citizen from Poland. The woman has already been handed over to the Białystok Border Guard.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Katarzyna Zdanowicz, press secretary of the Podlasie Branch of the Border Guard, a decision has already been issued requiring the 39-year-old woman to return to her country of origin.
“The decision is being enforced. The Ukrainian citizen is banned from entering Poland for five years,” said the border guard.

Poland may transfer MiG-29s to Ukraine in exchange for drones.
As a reminder, European countries have stepped up their search for interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems they plan to transfer to Ukraine. Kyiv is seeking to strengthen its missile defense ahead of a possible new wave of Russian attacks this winter.
Earlier, Finland explained why it would not transfer missiles for the Patriot system to Ukraine.
As a reminder, during his first official visit to Serbia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the supply of interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems in 2026 has decreased compared to 2025.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine currently has only about 1% of the required number of Patriot interceptor missiles, while Russian ballistic attacks have become more frequent.
