Police in the northern Polish city of Gdansk have detained a 48-year-old local resident suspected of making telephone death threats against European Council President and former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. "The man was detained at the flat where he lived. Police seized two mobile phones at the scene, which may have been used to issue telephone threats to kill Donald Tusk," Mariusz Chrzanowski of the Gdansk police press office told PAP. The man allegedly called the 112 emergency number with threats to kill the European Council president. A recorded conversation was sent to police by staff of the local emergency services call centre.
