13-year-old boy suspected of stabbing teacher and pupil in Romania after TikTok posts
Police say the 13-year-old is being investigated for attempted aggravated murder after allegedly posting violent messages on TikTok before the attack.
- On Monday, a 13-year-old student at a school in Bistrița, Romania, stabbed and wounded a teacher and another pupil, prompting police to investigate him on suspicion of attempted aggravated murder.
- Local media reported the student posted online about his intentions shortly before the attack, including a message stating "this is it lads. I've been preparing this for 8 months."
- Education Minister Mihai Dimian wrote on Facebook that "the press reports that the student announced his attack on TikTok must be clarified by investigators" to verify the social media claims.
- Schools across Europe, including in Poland, France, and Sweden, have faced similar attacks this year, with authorities citing online subcultures that glorify murder as a contributing factor.
- The student will not be tried as a minor despite the investigation, while Reuters could not independently verify the social media posts and TikTok provided no immediate comment.
