A stabbing incident occurred at Școala Gimnazială Nr. 6 in Bistrița, Romania, where a student targeted a Roma classmate, leading to injuries of a teacher and another student.

The attacker, a seventh-grade student who recently returned from Spain, allegedly sought out a specific student of Roma ethnicity, raising suspicions of a racially motivated attack. He apparently planned the action for 8 months, discussing it on TikTok.

The school lacked strict access control despite having surveillance cameras, prompting authorities to consider implementing stricter security measures following the incident.
