A knife attack at a primary school in Poland led to one death and two injuries, with a 15-year-old former student taken into custody. The incident occurred on Thursday, October 8, just one day after a similar knife attack at a high school that injured nine people. The latest attack took place at Jean-Paul II primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, a small town located 70 kilometers east of Warsaw. According to a police spokesperson, the 15-year-old Polish teenager fatally stabbed the school's concierge and injured two other adults.
The victim, a 37-year-old woman, was identified as the school concierge. The regional police confirmed on X that she succumbed to her injuries. The attacker, who was a former student of the school, was arrested following the incident. Details about the motive behind the attack have not yet been disclosed by authorities.
This incident comes amid growing concerns about school safety in Poland, following the recent wave of similar attacks. The country has seen an increase in reports of violence in educational institutions, prompting discussions among officials and educators about the need for improved security measures and mental health support for students.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding both attacks, including whether there are any connections between the perpetrators or the events that led to the violence. The police have not ruled out the possibility of a broader pattern, though no further information has been released at this time.
