The mayor of Poland’s northern city of Gdansk, who was critically injured by a knifeman during a charity concert performance, has succumbed to his wounds in hospital, a medical official has said.

Mayor Pawel Adamowicz was on Sunday stabbed several times by a man claiming to have been wrongfully accused and jailed. Known only as Stefan W., the attacker ran to the stage at an annual charity event collecting money for Polish medical facilities. The assault took place right in front of a crowd of people. The knifeman then grabbed the microphone, accusing the mayor’s party, The Civil Platform, of his alleged ordeal.

The 53-year-old Adamowicz suffered a serious injury to the heart as well as cuts to his diaphragm and abdominal organs and had to be resuscitated right on stage before being hospitalized. He underwent emergency surgery and was placed on life support “in a very critical condition,” Jerzy Karpinski, a physician with the Gdansk regional health department, told the Polish PAP news agency. Adamowicz succumbed to his injuries on Monday.

Interior Minister Joachim Brudzinski has called the knifeman “a repeat offender who has been convicted of armed robberies,” in a Twitter post, denying that there was any political motive behind the incident.

The 27-year-old attacker, himself a resident of Gdansk, was wearing a press badge, police said, explaining how he managed to get to the stage.

I would have question for the Cass: What was the purpose and what forces stay behind this attack? And what is the general comment from C's on this incident.

There may have been a combination of factors involved in Adamowicz’s assassination but I have not come across any evidence (yet) that suggests - it was politically motivated.

The 27-year-old attacker stabbed Adamowicz multiple times before grabbing a microphone and announcing to the crowd that his actions were motivated by a self-described desire to avenge the fact that under the previous Polish Government of Adamowicz’s Civic Platform party, he was “wrongfully jailed”.

The attacker is described as “a repeat offender who has been convicted of armed robberies” and was just released from jail in December, after serving a 5 and a half year conviction. He was able to get near the stage by wearing a press badge. After stabbing Adamowicz several times, the attacker walked around stage waving his hands before grabbing the microphone and admitting to the crime.

Adamowicz, 53, was attending the finale of the annual Great Orchestra of Christmas charity event. As Mayor, did Adamowicz have personal body guards or a security detail? Where were they - when he was getting stabbed multiple times on stage? There must have been some type of security for this annual Christmas charity event? Was any security on stage?

Is it just a coincidence that Polish ruling party chief Jaroslaw Kaczynski had canceled a campaign event that same Sunday night?
