A 15-year-old Romanian student, fed up with the bullying, attacked two classmates with a machete in the school bathroom.

A 15-year-old student in Pitesti, Romania, attacked two classmates with a machete during a break at school, injuring them. The incident occurred in a restroom at Armand Calinescu Technical College, where the attacker aimed to intimidate his bullies. Both victims sustained minor injuries, with one treated on-site and the other hospitalized. The attacker was subdued by a physical education teacher and handed over to police. This incident follows another attack by a 13-year-old student in Bistrita, prompting the new Romanian Prime Minister to condemn school violence and pledge a concrete action plan. Education Minister Sorin Costreie supports legal amendments to increase penalties for school violence and suggests security measures like backpack checks to prevent such incidents.
