What happened in Kamień Duży

The intervention began with a complaint about trucks on a local road in Kamień Duży. Officers checked the area for vehicles exceeding the 12-ton limit but found none. They then visited the person who reported the problem to gather details. Nearby, in a gate, they found a man lying on his back with a bicycle beside him.

The officers noticed a head injury and facial bruising. He breathed slowly and with difficulty. The district officers placed him in the recovery position and called for medical aid via the police dispatch. They stayed with him and watched his condition closely.

police CPR rescue: how officers acted

Before paramedics arrived the man stopped breathing. The officers recognised cardiac arrest and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They performed chest compressions and rescue breaths until ambulance staff took over. Both services then worked together and succeeded in restoring his vital signs. The man was transported to hospital. Police published a statement about the case on October 10, 2026, but offered no update on his further condition.

What investigators still need to establish

Police found the bicycle next to the man but did not detect evidence pointing to a road collision at the scene. The authorities therefore do not describe the event as a bicycle accident. Investigators will continue to collect facts to explain how the man sustained his head injury and why he ended up in the gate. The Masovian police will announce further findings when available.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: As an expat, you should know that local police, ambulance teams and municipal officers often act together at emergency scenes. In Poland, district officers (“dzielnicowi”) frequently handle neighbourhood complaints and might be first on scene. For medical emergencies the National Health Fund (NFZ) funds public care, while social insurance (ZUS) handles work-related benefits, and PESEL denotes your national ID number used in records. If you ever witness a collapse, stay with the person, call for help and tell responders about any visible injuries or medications. Avoid speculating publicly about causes until the police finish their checks.
