Three injured in Poland's third youth stabbing attack in four days
Police said the suspect and victims did not know one another, and investigators found no evidence linking the attack to earlier school stabbings.
- On Saturday, a 21-year-old woman wounded three people inside a higher education institution in Warsaw using a "dangerous object," marking the third school attack in Poland within one week.
- Two earlier school assaults in the Mazovian province left one person dead and several wounded, shocking a country where school violence by minors is a new phenomenon.
- Police checked nearly 50,000 schools and detained 76 people following rumors of a coordinated "Bloody Friday," though authorities found no evidence of an organized internet challenge.
- Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said, "There will be no compromise here. The safety of the youth is the most important thing," as schools increased staff at entrances and conducted backpack checks.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk argued the government needs new legal tools to block harmful online content, noting authorities currently lack the ability to restrict streamed criminal activity.
