Polish police have arrested several teenagers following a series of online threats regarding potential school attacks. The arrests were made in response to widespread rumors circulating on social media about a planned event referred to as "Bloody Friday."

Authorities initiated the crackdown as part of an effort to restore public order and calm growing anxieties among students and parents. The climate of fear was intensified by two separate stabbing incidents that occurred in the country within a span of two days, leading to heightened sensitivity regarding school safety.

Police officials confirmed that the individuals taken into custody are primarily young people. The investigations into these arrests are focused on the dissemination of threats related to school violence, which had been spreading rapidly across digital platforms.

Law enforcement agencies are continuing to monitor the situation to prevent further disruptions. Officials have emphasized their commitment to addressing these threats seriously to ensure the security of educational institutions across the country.
