Shooting in Warsaw and detention of a fifteen-year-old Tajik teenager

The Polish police detained two Tajik teenagers who opened fire during a conflict.

A statement from the Warsaw police indicates that the incident occurred on June 15, 2026, in the Ursus district of Warsaw between two 15-year-old Tajik teenagers. One of them was injured.

According to the police, during the conflict, one of the teenagers fired a traumatic pistol and injured the other. Police arrived at the scene and detained the suspect. A case has been opened regarding the incident, which has been forwarded to the Family and Juvenile Court of Warsaw. Currently, the suspect teenager has been placed in a special center for minors.

Witnesses reported that a verbal altercation began between the teenagers, which quickly escalated into a conflict. During the conflict, one of them fired a traumatic pistol and shot his peer in the leg.

Police officers quickly arrived at the scene and conducted a preliminary investigation. It was determined that the injury was superficial, the victim did not require hospitalization, and his life was not in danger.

The police detained the suspect and seized the traumatic pistol used during the conflict. According to the teenager, he purchased the pistol online.

The police reported that the detained individual is a 15-year-old citizen of Tajikistan. His name and surname are not disclosed.

Earlier, Azda TV received a report about a conflict between a 17-year-old and a 14-year-old Tajik teenagers. It is reported that this case is also being investigated by the police. However, it is unclear whether these are the same individuals or if they are different cases.

After the investigative activities were completed, the Warsaw police forwarded all case materials to the Family and Juvenile Court of Warsaw.

By court decision, the teenager was placed in a Youth Education Center (MOW). This institution is intended for minors who require special supervision and educational work.

The police emphasized that any manifestations of violence and other dangerous actions will not be tolerated, and those responsible will be held accountable. Such offenses will be strictly suppressed by law enforcement and judicial authorities.

This is not the first case where Polish media report conflicts involving citizens of Tajikistan and their detention. Earlier, Azda TV also reported on a group fight among citizens of Tajikistan, resulting in one person being injured. He sustained a severe traumatic brain injury and was hospitalized. Two brothers involved in the attack are under arrest.
