What's happening

Polish police conducted security checks at approximately 35,000 schools nationwide and arrested 59 people, mostly students, in response to knife attacks that occurred on Wednesday in Ostrołęka (where a 19-year-old stabbed 9 people) and Thursday in Leściniec-Nowiny (where a 15-year-old attacked three staff members, one of whom died). The operations were prompted by fears of an alleged internet challenge called 'Bloody Friday' and concerns about copycat attacks.
