Summary

A 19-year-old student at Vocational School Complex No. 4 in Ostroleka, Poland, attacked fellow students, teachers, and others with a sharp weapon on October 7, 2026, around 11 a.m. Casualty figures vary across reports, ranging from seven to ten injured; most reports indicate nine people were taken to hospital, with some accounts noting none were in life-threatening condition while others mention two in serious condition.

A homemade explosive device was found in the suspect's backpack. Police officers at the scene were determining the course of events. The motive for the attack remains unclear. Schools in the town were closed pending investigation.
