Police in Poland responded to two separate emergencies involving young children. In Otwock, a 34-year-old man was detained after being found highly intoxicated while caring for his two-year-old daughter. Following a breathalyzer test that showed a blood alcohol content of 2.6 per mille, the man faced charges for exposing a person under his care to the danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm.

In the Halemba district of Ruda Śląska, officers intervened to assist an 18-month-old girl who began choking on the street. Officers provided immediate assistance until paramedics arrived, and the child remained conscious during the incident.
