WARSAW, Oct 11 (Reuters) - ‌Polish police ​have ​detained a man suspected of planning an attack on Prime Minister ‌Donald Tusk, the Interior Minister said on ⁠Sunday, after it warned earlier of a threat ‌to Tusk and Defence ‌Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.

"The man who threatened and planned an attack on Prime Minister Donald ​Tusk has been detained by Polish police," Marcin Kierwinski wrote on X, ⁠without giving further details.

Tusk thanked the police for "swift and decisive ​action" in a separate post on X.

While violent crime is relatively rare in ​Poland, the country is ‌deeply polarised politically and has faced security threats due to its ⁠proximity to the war in Ukraine.

In August, police detained a 23-year-old man accused of calling ⁠for the assassination of senior Polish politicians.

In 2024, Tusk ​said he received threats after an assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Interior Ministry Spokesperson Karolina ‌Galecka said on Sunday an email with information about the potential ‌attack had been forwarded to police by ⁠the State Protection ‌Service, which is ​responsible for ministers' security.
