On Thursday, a 15-year-old student fatally stabbed the caretaker at his former primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, a small town in Poland, 70 kilometers northeast of Warsaw, according to police. The young attacker also wounded two other adults, a teacher and the head of the school, during the incident. Katarzyna Kucharska, police spokesperson for the Warsaw region, confirmed that the caretaker, aged 37, succumbed to his injuries.
The assailant was swiftly apprehended by the teacher and school principal, who managed to overpower him despite sustaining knife wounds himself. Police in the region have detained a 17-year-old boy in another town following his threat to carry out a spectacular attack at his school, where they discovered a bag containing two knives in his apartment.
This incident follows a similar knife attack a day earlier, in which a 19-year-old was arrested after nine people were injured at a high school in Ostroleka, located 120 kilometers north of Warsaw.
