After the assault, Russian troops killed, looted, and burned the borough despite Suvorov's orders, torturing and murdering inhabitants.

Once the battle ended, Russian troops began smiting, looting, and burning the borough, against Suvorov's pre-battle orders, partly in revenge for the slaughter of about 2,000 Russian soldiers and a similar number of captives during the April 1794 Warsaw Uprising. Soldiers shot at from windows and roofs broke into houses killing all in their way; inhabitants were tortured, raped, and murdered, and officers struggled to save civilians. Suvorov had sent posters asking residents to take refuge in the Russian camp, and Russian historians claim he ordered the Vistula bridge destroyed to contain the violence, though Polish historians attribute that move to military considerations.
