A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a male teenager was stabbed and injured during an altercation at Humberside Collegiate Institute.
Officers were called to the high school, located in the Quebec Avenue and Humberside Avenue area, just before noon on Friday.
Duty Insp. Peter Wehby said there were reports of an altercation, and a male teen was slashed with a knife or edged weapon. The victim was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. An age was not provided.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested a short time later. Insp. Wehby said it’s believed both teens involved are students at Humberside Collegiate Institute and that the dispute occurred on school property.
“I can tell you that there was an altercation inside the school. I can’t be specific as to where it started at this time,” Insp. Wehby said.
“We believe this is an isolated incident, and we do not believe there’s any risk to any of the students or members of the public. But we are asking that if any student or anyone else has witnessed anything or has any other information with respect to this stabbing or slashing to come forward.”
Humberside Collegiate Institute was under lockdown for a few hours as a result of the altercation, but it has since been lifted. Students were let out for the day as the investigation continues.
