The figure stood beside a banner urging voters not to support Trzaskowski, drawing the attention of the crowd gathered in the city’s main square.
Trzaskowski, representing the Civic Coalition, was visiting Tarnów on Thursday - a key constituency where he led in the first round of voting.
Addressing supporters, he emphasised his personal connection to the city, noting that his great-grandfather, Bronisław Trzaskowski, had served for two decades as the head of a local secondary school.
Presidential election is not a casting call for someone to play a role, says Trzaskowski
Responding to the rooftop protest, Trzaskowski told the crowd: “We must stay strong, because a presidential election is not a casting call for someone to play a role.”
The event came just days before the second round of Poland’s presidential election, as candidates ramp up efforts to secure voter turnout.

According to Radio Kraków, local police have launched an investigation to identify the individual behind the rooftop stunt, reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses.
The incident was particularly hazardous due to rainy conditions during Thursday's rally, with authorities stating the man likely fled by crossing neighbouring rooftops.
'Zorro' could face a fine of up tu 5,000 zloty (over 1,1170 euros) for placing a banner without the property owner's consent.
