A university student killed a member of staff with an axe and 'ate some of her body parts' after launching an attack on campus with an axe.
The attacker, reportedly a third-year law student, entered the auditorium of Warsaw University in Poland with the weapon before killing an administrator.
A security guard was injured and taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The attacker cut off the woman's head and allegedly ate her body parts and licked blood from the weapon, witnesses told Polish TV station Telewizja Republika.
Last week a woman's severed head and an axe were also found on the campus.
Gazeta Wyborcza daily reported that the attacker was a third-year law student.
Footage shows the suspected attacker being pinned to the ground next to blood-stained pavement. More Trending
