A 15-year-old former pupil killed a school caretaker and injured two other people in a knife attack at a primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, northeast of Warsaw, on Thursday, Polish authorities said.
The attack occurred at about 9 a.m. local time. The woman who died was 37, according to the South China Morning Post, while the BBC identified the two injured people as teachers. Authorities said the teenager wore a helmet-mounted camera and may have been responding to an online challenge, though it was unclear whether the attack was recorded.
The incident was Poland’s second school knife attack in two days. On Wednesday, a 19-year-old student attacked people at a school in Ostroleka in northeastern Poland. Reuters reported that 10 people were injured, while AP said the student injured nine people. The South China Morning Post reported that 10 people, including the attacker, were wounded. The 19-year-old was arrested.
Police also detained a 17-year-old in Sierpc, north-central Poland, on suspicion of planning an attack. Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened an emergency meeting and said authorities feared a “grim copycat phenomenon.”
