Correspondent Jay Akbar explained that people had gathered at the scene of his attack on Sunday night, remarking: "The scars of those three violent minutes on Saturday are still visible in Krakow's main square."

He spoke to victims of the attack, including one woman called Magdalena Fraczak who said: ""I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He passed just one metre behind my back. That's why I have shrapnel wounds in six places on my back."

Jay continued: "Krakow's main square has reopened, but now, as the site of the city's first mass shooting, it won't ever feel the same."
