School stabbing incidents in Croatia and Slovakia

Overview

In September 2026, a 15-year-old student attacked a peer and a school employee with a knife at the Electrical Technical School in Zagreb, Croatia. The victims, a 14-year-old student and a 59-year-old cleaner, were both hospitalized in intensive care in stable condition. The attacker was subdued by staff and faced investigation for attempted serious murder.

In October 2026, a separate stabbing occurred at a primary school in Staškovo, Slovakia. A 13-year-old male student killed a 61-year-old teacher and a 13-year-old female student. The perpetrator reportedly shared disturbing online content prior to the attack, which is believed to have been motivated by retaliation against a classmate. Due to Slovak law, the 13-year-old attacker cannot be criminally prosecuted as the age of criminal responsibility is 14.
