Increased security in schools

This is the third attack in a week at Polish educational institutions involving a knife or dangerous object. The day before, thousands of police officers visited schools across the country following two attacks, one of which resulted in the death of a school employee.

On Wednesday, a 19-year-old student attacked people at a vocational school in the Masovian Voivodeship and injured nine people. The following day, a 37-year-old employee of an institution died after a 15-year-old teenager entered a primary school in Leszczydół-Nowiny, north of Warsaw.

After police officers were deployed in schools, law enforcement reported the detention of 76 people. Local media, citing a police spokesperson, wrote that law enforcement had information about a possible connection between the incidents and an internet challenge. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński also reported the detention of a 17-year-old boy in the city of Sierpc after he allegedly stated on school grounds that he intended to harm someone.
