The victim and the attacker knew each other and were previously a couple, according to Polish news agency PAP. It’s said the knifeman entered the home through a window and then began stabbing children and teachers. A staff member reportedly tried to protect the girl from the attacker. He fled the scene but was arrested about an hour later at his home, say police. The suspect doesn’t have a criminal record but there are conflicting reports about whether he was drunk at the time of the attack. Prosecutors say he will be charged with murder, TVN24.pl reports. Police say they are investigating the reasons for the attack, spokeswoman Aneta Sobieraj told local television. “Unfortunately, as a result of this incident, a 16-year-old girl, a ward of the orphanage, died on the spot, and five people were hospitalised,” she added. Four of the injured were treated on the spot, she said. Spokesman for the Poviat Headquarters of the State Fire Service Marcin Zwierzak told Kalisz24: “Very preliminary findings show that it was most likely one of the pupils who suddenly attacked the teacher and other residents with a knife.” Some victims were taken to hospital by air ambulance and three are still receiving treatment for their wounds. The traumatised children from the orphanage are currently receiving counselling. How you can get help Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families: - Always keep your phone nearby.
- Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
- If you are in danger, call 999.
- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
- Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
