Poland's liberal mayor dies after stabbing

Pawel Adamowicz, the liberal mayor of the Polish city of Gdansk, yesterday died of his wounds a day after being stabbed on stage at a charity event. Adamowicz was attacked while attending the annual Great Orchestra of Christmas charity, a fundraiser where volunteers collect money for medical equipment in hospitals. Television footage showed a man screaming "Adamowicz is dead!" as he rushed the stage and stabbed the mayor, who crumpled to the floor.
