Croatian Nun's Viral Stabbing Claim Rubbished By Police

On Dec. 2, the Zagreb Police Department said Sister Marija Tajana Zrno filed a criminal report claiming she was stabbed, but police said Tuesday she harmed herself and filed a false report.
Media outlets reported Sister Marija Tajana Zrno, a 35-year-old member of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, Province of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary — Zagreb, was injured Nov. 28 by a sharp object.
After an extensive investigation, the Zagreb Police Department determined Zrno injured herself with a knife purchased in the Zagreb area and was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital in Zagreb.
Police announced they will file a criminal report against Zrno for falsely reporting a crime, and authorities said she has been transported to an appropriate health facility for care, with a source telling The Pillar she was taken to a psychiatric hospital amid mental-health challenges.
The case drew wide media attention with initial violent-attack narratives that police later contradicted, and sources flagged Zrno's reported mental-health challenges in the aftermath.
