National Prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk told private broadcaster TVN24 that a homemade explosive device that nearly detonated was found in the attacker's backpack.Fire brigade spokesperson Adrian Stupski told local media that students had barricaded themselves into classrooms in self-defence before they were evacuated.Police said they detained the suspect about 20 minutes after the attack and posted a photo on X showing a man they appeared to have apprehended lying face down in a wooded area.Town hall spokesperson Katarzyna Ogniewska told reporters that all schools in Ostroleka were closed and that children were safe.The motives behind the attack were unclear. Such incidents are rare in Poland, but in September police detained a 13-year-old suspected of planning an attack and found a knife in his bag.
