A Senegalese man has been deported from Poland following a shocking incident in the Valley of the Three Ponds in Katowice where he was caught on camera entering the water and relieving himself in front of onlookers.

A video that surfaced online several weeks ago showed a naked man entering the pool, squatting in the water, and apparently relieving himself in full view of other bathers. “He likely relieved himself in front of people relaxing by the water,” confirmed Lt. Sergeant Szymon Mościcki, a spokesperson for the Silesian Border Guard Branch.

The incident took place at the end of July, but it has since come to light that the Senegalese man had already been apprehended for unlawful residency in Poland last year. He was initially detained in September 2023 for illegal smuggling. During that arrest, he resisted, leading officers to use direct force. In November 2023, the head of the Border Guard station in Sosnowiec ordered the man to leave Poland and banned his reentry into the Schengen Zone for three years.

However, the migrant did not voluntarily leave the country, only to be apprehended again after the recent incident in Katowice.

On Tuesday, Aug. 21, the illegal migrant was escorted to Warsaw’s Okęcie Airport, from where he was flown back to Senegal.

The conservative news outlet Drzeczy.pl has raised questions as to why the man was not forcibly deported back in November 2023.
