Poland faces 'grim' copycat fears after second school stabbing in two days
A 15-year-old former student killed a caretaker and injured two staff members at a primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, Poland, on October 8. This incident occurred just one day after a 19-year-old wounded nine people at a vocational school in Ostrołęka. Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned of a 'grim phenomenon of imitation' driven by online violence and challenges, ordering daily police visits to schools to prevent further attacks.
