Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Poland Deploys 20,000 Police Officers to Schools After Stabbing Attacks

Caption: Poland Deploys 20,000 Police Officers to Schools After Stabbing Attacks. Poland has deployed more than 20,000 police officers to schools following three stabbing attacks in four days, as authorities step up security across the country. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has vowed to tackle youth violence, warning about the influence of online content glorifying brutality and extremism. The latest attack took place on Saturday at a college in Warsaw, where three people were injured. Earlier incidents included an attack by a 19-year-old who wounded 10 people at a school in Ostrołęka and a separate stabbing that killed a caretaker near Warsaw. Tusk has highlighted the possible influence of Nazi propaganda, online violence and video games, although authorities have found no evidence that the attacks were coordinated. Police have inspected 80,000 educational institutions and detained 135 people since Friday as part of the nationwide operation. Among those detained was a boy allegedly found with a firearm, ammunition and knives after simulating attacks on his school in the online game Roblox. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński has pledged a zero-tolerance approach to violence against children as the government seeks to reassure families and prevent further attacks.
