Ostrołęka, Poland—Police locked down a vocational school complex after a knife-wielding assailant burst through the main doors and attacked students and teachers inside corridors. The sudden violence left multiple people wounded before the suspect fled the immediate campus grounds.
Emergency services rushed to the educational facility within minutes, deploying multiple ambulances and armed patrol units to secure the perimeter. Paramedics triaged the wounded on-site before transporting them to regional medical centers for emergency surgery.
Investigators confirmed that the victims included both adolescents and adult members of the faculty. Hospital representatives declined to release detailed prognoses for the most critically injured patients while emergency operations remained underway
A manhunt involving local and regional police units quickly mobilized across the municipality. Officers tracked the suspect to a nearby location near the city beach and took him into custody without further reported incident.
"The situation has been brought under control, and the area is secured," Ostrołęka Mayor Paweł Niewiadomski told reporters gathered outside the police cordon.
Forensic teams began processing the crime scene inside the school building, collecting physical evidence and interviewing eyewitnesses among the student body. The municipal education department suspended all classes at the facility indefinitely.
Parents gathered anxiously behind police tape waiting for official lists of accounted-for students. Crisis counseling centers opened in neighboring municipal buildings to support traumatized pupils and family members.
Detectives are currently reviewing security camera footage to reconstruct the exact timeline of the assault. Formal charges against the detained individual are expected once initial interrogations conclude.
