In Poland law enforcement detained a 37-year-old citizen of Ukraine who, while intoxicated, arrived by Kia at a kindergarten to pick up a child. The incident occurred on Friday, April 24 2026, in Lublin. This was reported by the Polish police.

Kindergarten staff noticed the man’s condition when he appeared at the facility. They smelled alcohol on him and immediately called the police. As it turned out, the man had arrived at the kindergarten by car, and his 11-year-old son was in the vehicle.
