Paweł Adamowicz, sitting mayor of Gdańsk, Poland, was fatally stabbed on 13 January 2019, during the finale of the 27th Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, a wintertime Polish charity event. The incident took place in the former coal market of the city of Gdańsk.

Attacker

The attacker, Stefan Wilmont, was a 27-year-old inhabitant of Oliwa, a district of Gdańsk. He had been involved in criminal activities from a young age and was characterized by ruthless aggression, as well as drug abuse.

Between 8 May and 12 June 2013, Wilmont perpetrated three robberies against credit union stands and one Credit Agricole bank in the Gdańsk district of Zaspa. He stole 15920 zł (US$5037) in total, with only 2550 zł (US$807) being returned from the last robbery, during which he was stopped by police. He said that he spent the rest of the money on "taxis, food and casinos", as well as a trip to the Canary Islands. For these crimes, he was sentenced on 29 May 2014, to 5 years and 6 months in prison as well as a 4000 zł (US$1268) fine. He was released on 8 December 2018.

While in prison, Wilmont was reportedly diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was sent to therapy and also provided medication—once his mental health did not show signs of improving, he was given ambulatory care. He refused to take any medication a few months later, although according to the doctors who were taking care of him at that time, he was not in a good mental state.

Shortly before the end of his sentence on 30 September 2018, Stefan Wilmont's mother reported to the police that her son's mental state was bad and that he had been harmed by the judge's decision to send him to prison. He blamed the fact that he was in prison on local politicians. She stated that he attacked with a dummy weapon and not with a real firearm. The mother also reported that he would do "something spectacular" that would "let everyone know about the harm that had been done to him". This information was given to the Prison Service, Poland's primary prison-guarding service; however, the fact that the information was given by Stefan's mother was excluded, which led to only talks with Wilmont and consultation with a therapist being done, which did not find the potential of a threat from Wilmont.

Assassination

On 13 January 2019, the 27th Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, a Polish charity event happening annually every winter, was being hosted countrywide in Poland. As a celebration of the orchestra's final, the Regional Volunteer Center in Gdańsk organized the charity concert "Gdańsk For the Orchestra" (Polish: Gdańsk Dla Orkiestry) in the city's historical coal market, starting at 3:00 p.m. CET.

During the evening, Mayor of Gdańsk Paweł Adamowicz came onstage and gave a speech in which he thanked the supporters of the Great Orchestra. At 8:00 p.m., while the people onstage were counting down to a sparkler show called the "Little Light To the Sky" (Polish: Światełko do nieba), Wilmont ran up to Adamowicz and stabbed him three times with a knife. Following the attack, Stefan took one of the microphones and declared the following publicly:

Hello! Hello! My name is Stefan Wilmont. I was imprisoned while innocent. I was imprisoned while innocent. The Civic Platform tortured me. That's why Adamowicz died!

Shortly after Wilmont gave the speech, the technical crew escorted him off-stage. He was then transferred to event security guards, who in turn transferred him to the police.

Post-attack surgery

Adamowicz was rushed to a local hospital. At 2:20 a.m. the next day, doctor Tomasz Stefaniak stated the following about his status:

The patient [Adamowicz] is still alive. His wounds are very severe—a serious heart injury, a wound in the diaphragm, and plenty of wounds in the abdominal cavity. His state is very, very rough.

Adamowicz relied on blood transfusions while at the hospital, with Stefaniak notifying the public that 41 units of blood had been used to keep Adamowicz alive during the same announcement. After undergoing a five-hour-long operation, Adamowicz survived the surgery, but required artificial ventilation devices to stay alive. At 12:30 p.m., during a press conference, Adamowicz' secretary Magdalena Skorupka-Kaczmarek shared the news of his death to the public.

In 2023 Wilmont was sentenced to life imprisonment.
