Two teen girls are facing charges after another teen girl was stabbed at a Whitby high school earlier this week.
Officers responded to reports of a person with a weapon at Father Leo Austin Catholic School, near Dryden Boulevard and Anderson Street, around noon on Monday.
A 14-year-old girl was found at the school with stab wounds. She was rushed to hospital with serious injuries where she remains in stable condition.
The school was placed into lockdown and it was lifted after police took a suspect into custody.
In a release on Friday, Durham Regional Police say a 14-year-old girl from Whitby is facing four charges including assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. A 17-year-old girl from Whitby has also been charged with assault.
Both girls were held for a bail hearing. The suspects cannot be identified through the province’s Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact police.
