Polish Police Arrest Multiple Teens over ‘Bloody Friday’ School Attack Threats

Authorities said the arrests followed two stabbing sprees and online rumors of a "Bloody Friday" that prompted security at 10,000 schools.

  • Polish police arrested 10 young people on Friday for making online threats related to school attacks, seeking to calm public fears of a so-called "Bloody Friday" following stabbing sprees in Ostroleka and Leszczydol-Nowiny.
  • On Wednesday, a 19-year-old wounded 10 people at a school in Ostroleka, followed by Thursday's attack in Leszczydol-Nowiny where a 15-year-old former pupil killed one employee and injured two others.
  • Among the 10 detained were a 13-year-old from Warsaw who posted a knife photo in a class chat, a 14-year-old detained with a knife and firecrackers, and two 15-year-olds from Pruszkow County who posted videos with threats to kill.
  • Authorities deployed police to 10,000 schools nationwide, while Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated there is "no sign of any nationwide 'challenge' taking place," though officials warned against copycat attacks.
  • The Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime is monitoring content on TikTok accounts potentially linked to the attacks, cooperating with the platform to investigate and curb the spread of misinformation.
