Polish police have arrested ten individuals, mostly teenagers, for making threats related to school attacks online and at schools across Poland. The arrests come after two recent stabbing incidents—one in Leszczydol-Nowiny where one employee was killed and two injured, and another in Ostroleka that left ten people wounded—including social media rumors of a "Bloody Friday" challenge. Authorities are reassuring the public by deploying police to 10,000 schools nationwide and warning against spreading misinformation that could incite further attacks.

Story summary
Polish police arrested at least 10 teenagers on October 9 over threats related to school attacks, including several who were detained with weapons like knives and firecrackers. The arrests came after two stabbing incidents in as little as two days, leading to widespread fears of a "Bloody Friday" challenge circulating on social media platforms such as TikTok. However, the Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated that there was no evidence of an organized online challenge and warned against spreading misinformation which could inspire copycat attacks.
To address these concerns, authorities deployed police to around 10,000 schools nationwide. One arrest involved a 13-year-old from Warsaw who threatened classmates via a group chat with a knife photo. Another teenager was caught at school with similar materials while two others from Pruszkow County posted threatening videos online.
Despite the arrests and police presence, officials stressed the importance of distinguishing between actual threats and misinformation to prevent unnecessary panic among students and parents alike.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
