1 dead in Poland’s second school knife attack in 2 days, amid ‘copycat’ fears

A 15-year-old former pupil fatally stabbed one employee and injured two others at a primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, northeast of Warsaw, on Thursday. The attack occurred around 9 am local time, and the perpetrator was reportedly wearing a helmet-mounted camera. This incident marks the second school stabbing in Poland within two days, with authorities suggesting it may be a response to an internet challenge. The deceased victim was identified as a 37-year-old caretaker. The previous day, a 19-year-old wounded 10 people, including himself, at a different school.
