WARSAW, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Poland's most senior police officer was injured and hospitalised when a present he received during a visit to Ukraine exploded at police headquarters in Warsaw, Poland's interior ministry said on Thursday.

Jaroslaw Szymczyk, Commander in Chief of the Polish police, received the gift from one of the heads of the Ukrainian emergency services during a visit to the country on Dec. 11-12.

"As a result of the explosion, the Commander suffered minor injuries and has been in the hospital for observation since yesterday," a ministry statement said, adding the incident took place on Wednesday.


It was not immediately clear what the present was.

The ministry said a civilian employee at police headquarters was also injured but did not need to be hospitalised.

There was no immediate reply from Ukraine's SBU security service to a Reuters request for comment on the incident.

Polish media had earlier reported that an explosion at police headquarters had injured Szymczyk and damaged the ceiling in the building.

"The Polish side asked the Ukrainian side to provide relevant explanations," the ministry said.

According to the German-owned Onet.pl the present was actually a grenade launcher that Szymczyk has pointed and fired without knowing it was loaded. Way to fail the most basic gun safety as the head of police.

So he got a grenade launcher as a present and decided to fire it in his office. Dude is lucky to be alive.

He's at least going to have tinnitus for the rest of his life.

And the progtards think that "only the police should have guns." While at the same time thinking police should be illegal or something.

Fucking LOL

Progtards believe the police should only use guns to shoot white heterosexual christian males aged 1 to 99 and their parents.

I'm a white heterosexual atheist male, does that absolve me of death by pig?

I bet the grenade launcher wasn't even disguised and just badly wrapped with news paper

How many polacks does it take to... you know what, never mind.

Ahh I'm having fond memories of the videos of goatfuckers finding out the hard way what backblast is.

I've seen one of those in a fails compilation where the gunner sticks his whole body right behind the breech of the recoilless he's manning while prone. Doubt the 72 virgins will want to touch a guy who went to Paradise looking like Spawn.

do you guys now understand why polish should not rule themself?

At first I thought it was Ukranian maffia related. Than that the Ukie-stazi got the wrong target with a letter bomb.

But they gave a polack a grenade launcher loaded, and he fired it in his office for clout.

Peak Slav has been reached, double natural D20 crit.

Is it true that there's a Chinese embassy and a kindergarten right outside of the police chiefs window? Should've aimed for the bugs.

Also, according to some Polish journos, it was a RGW-90 HH MATADOR, not some break-action grenade launcher. It was allegedly armed with a squash-head warhead meant for demolishing fortifications. Suffice to say, the building is probably in far worse shape than they're letting on.
A lot of these launchers were shipped to Ukies, so it's plausible.

Just like the LPO-50 I got from Poland. Fucker was shipped in a black plastic bin bag.

Exactly, and a Javelin/NLAW is not a grenade, it's a missile. But I wouldn't expect the head vatnik to differentiate between a grenade launcher and a missile launcher. Even the RPG-7 isn't a "grenade launcher", but a "rocket-propelled grenade launcher", which is something completely else. a "grenade launcher" would be something like a M79.
