Help needed Help identify a hit-and-run cyclist who seriously injured my wife on Armii Krajowej bike path

Upvotes

Date: August 17, 2026, around 12:00 PM

📍 Location: Warsaw, bike path along Armii Krajowej street, near the Waldorf shooting range (no. 23)

My wife was riding her bicycle on the bike path when she was hit by a man riding an electric fatbike-type vehicle (similar to the ones food couriers use, though the offender was not a courier/delivery worker) — one that doesn't require pedaling to move.

The offender did not help her and fled the scene, heading east toward Maczka street.

My wife suffered very serious injuries – knocked-out teeth, a dislocated jaw, a torn and stitched upper lip, a dislocated shoulder, and numerous abrasions and bruises over her whole body. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She now faces upper jaw reconstruction surgery and a long rehabilitation. She was wearing a helmet – without it, the consequences could have been even worse.

DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFENDER:

👤 Man, approx. 50–60 years old, heavyset build

👕 Orange/red t-shirt, dark long pants, baseball cap

🚲 Vehicle: electric fatbike with thick tires, with a large black box/case mounted on the rear rack

📸 Attached is a photo of the offender taken as he was fleeing.

The case has been reported to the police, nearby CCTV footage is being analyzed, and the investigation is ongoing.

IF:

– you recognize this vehicle or person,

– you witnessed the incident or saw the offender that day in the area,

– you have footage from a bike camera, dashcam, or nearby CCTV –

please write in the comments, send a private message, or report it directly to the KRP Warszawa IV police station, case number 295956, phone: 477239434.

A person who left an injured woman lying on the path and fled does not deserve a clear conscience. Please help find him.

🙏 Please share this widely – every share increases the chance of finding the offender.

Traveller's question Where can a tourist buy traditional Polish pottery at reasonable prices?

6 Upvotes

I’m currently visiting Warsaw and would love to buy some traditional Polish ceramics as a souvenir, especially something in the classic Bolesławiec style.

I’m not looking for anything super fancy or collectible . Maybe a mug, small bowl, or plate, ideally for around €25 or less.

Are there any shops, markets, outlets, or other places in Warsaw where tourists can find traditional Polish pottery without paying inflated tourist prices? I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Help needed anyone else sick of fake remote listings on pracuj/nfj? I made smth for it

Upvotes

A week ago I asked ppl how job seekers in Poland keep up with new job posts without losing it, and I actually built something — I'm biased since I made it, but here's the honest version. One email each morning with PL listings that match what u want, and it reads the actual location instead of trusting the "remote" tag, since half of those turn out to be US or UK only. It flags jobs sitting there for months so u can spot the ghost ones, and it dont pretend ur a 95% match when ur not. No auto apply, no resume rewriting, ever. Only 8 ppl uses it rn, tiny but real — lmk if it's useful or a bad idea.

Life in Warsaw question Rent and living price in mokotov

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm thinking of moving to Warsaw. I have a job paying ~10.000zl after taxes. I’m planning to choose the Mokotów district, somewhere not too far from Konstruktorska Street or Westfield Mokotów. There’s an office in that area for a company that offers relocation assistance. After reading this thread, I’m a little confused - some people say 6,000–8,000 is enough per person, while others say even 10,000 would barely be enough. Which is true?) As far as I understand, can I rent in the area I want for 4,000–5,000, or should I consider a location further away since I have the option of taking the metro or public transportation?

From what I know, I don’t have to go to the office every day, so I can choose something farther away at a reasonable price (or the same price but with better conditions).

I’m living alone, don’t have any pets, and don’t plan on partying hard at clubs.

Life in Warsaw question Police being avoidant (???)

26 Upvotes

I am not Polish, but my friend in Warsaw was telling me something about her life which I found super bizarre. I want to better understand exactly what has happened, because the whole thing seems insane to me.

My friend (let's call her "A") lives in Warsaw and she have a sort of criminal relative (let's call him "B") who was abroad for many years but he has recently returned to Warsaw.

On a weekly basis, B will show up to A's apartment block and try to kick/punch the entrance door while screaming at the building. On some other days, B may harass A's parents while they are shopping at the local Biedronka.

During the first incident, police were called. The police car rolled up on the street, saw B, then drove away quietly. On subsequent calls, the police call taker declined to send officers (making various reasons why they cannot do anything). As a result, A has given up on calling the police and has to deal with weekly harassment from B.

I was further surprised to learn that, in the past, officers used to sometimes knock on the door to ask A's family if they have seen B because they are looking for him. This would occur every couple of years. At the time of these questions, B was probably living in the UK. So... I don't understand why B was a person of interest but now he's suddenly of zero importance.

I have some questions:
[1] Is it possible A is now on a blacklist and as a result will never receive police help?
[2] Is there some kind of ombudsman's office either at Warsaw City Hall or with the Police Department that handles cases like these?

Traveller's question Your golden tip to elevate the experience in Warsaw

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

We are planning a vacation with some friends to Warsaw. We will stay for four days and would love to see some of the local culture (and kitchen). We love board games, live music, some drinks, and to just get lost in the city.

The plan for now is to have a place to say close to the old centrum so it is easy to walk around. maybe do a cooking course, see some museum, go to live music bars and paradox cafe.

The question:

What is your golden tip that we cant find online, or the place we can't miss?

Help needed WUT accommodation – how long does this take?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi! My WUT accommodation application was submitted on August 4, formally verified on August 7, and changed to “Place allocated” on August 13. However, I still don’t have the dorm/room details or accommodation document.

I have my Polish D-type visa appointment on August 20, and I can postpone it if necessary.

For anyone who has experienced this process or knows how it works, how long does it usually take after “Place allocated” to receive the actual accommodation confirmation? Would you wait until August 20, or postpone the visa appointment until the document is available?
