Three injured in Warsaw college assault as Poland intensifies school security checks

Around midday on Saturday, a 21-year-old female student used a dangerous object to assault three individuals at a Warsaw post-secondary college, wounding a 17-year-old woman who was later hospitalized with non-critical injuries and two other bystanders, aged 17 and 24, who sustained injuries that did not require hospital care. Police confirmed the attacker had no prior relationship with the victims and is enrolled at the institution, which media reports name as TEB Edukacja.

The assault comes amid a sweeping police response that earlier in the day detained 76 people and checked almost 50,000 schools nationwide following two separate school attacks earlier in the week. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski emphasized that youth safety remains a top priority, while schools have heightened security measures, including additional staff at entrances and voluntary backpack checks. Authorities have not found evidence of an organized online challenge behind the recent incidents.
