Polish Police Arrest Multiple Teens over ‘Bloody Friday’ School Attack Threats
- On Saturday, Polish police announced they detained 76 people and checked nearly 50,000 schools nationwide to prevent further violence following two stabbing sprees earlier in the week.
- Two stabbing sprees in as many days, including a Thursday attack in Leszczydol-Nowiny where a 15-year-old killed one employee, sparked public anxiety and rumors of a coordinated 'Bloody Friday' challenge.
- Authorities detained teenagers for posting knife photos and 'threats to kill,' yet Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated 'there is no sign of any nationwide 'challenge' taking place' despite widespread misinformation.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized opposition-aligned President Karol Nawrocki for previously vetoing online safety laws, as the government vows to renew efforts to block harmful content.
- Police patrols and crisis training will continue across Poland, where 59 schools preemptively suspended classes on Friday as authorities work to restore order and prevent copycat attacks.
