Summary

After a woman injured three people in a third school knife attack in four days, Poland's prime minister said the attacks were fueled by online glorification of violence. Police had already deployed to schools nationwide, detained dozens of people and checked 50,000 schools following two earlier attacks that killed a school caretaker and injured several others.
