A knife attack at a high school in northern Poland has left at least eight people injured, with some of the victims in serious condition. The incident occurred when a 19-year-old suspect, identified as ‘Jakub Z.’, entered the technical school in Ostrołęka and began attacking students and teachers with a knife.

According to local police, the suspect forced students and staff to lock themselves in classrooms during the attack. The injured include three adults and five teenagers, with an air ambulance deployed to transport the victims to local hospitals for treatment. The alleged perpetrator was also injured, though it is reported that he sustained the wound by his own hand.

An anonymised image released by Masovian police shows the suspect with an apparently bloody wound being attended to by officers. A prosecutor confirmed that a boy entered the school with a dangerous weapon and attacked students and teachers, resulting in eight injuries. The injured are currently receiving ongoing medical attention.

The suspect was arrested by police close to the city beach on Wednesday morning. Authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack, but no details have been released. The incident has raised concerns about school safety and security in the region. Local officials have expressed their condolences to the victims and their families, while calling for increased measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
