Mocobizscene- Authorities in Queens reported that on Wednesday afternoon, a 12-year-old girl was stabbed inside her school by another 12-year-old.
The preteen was stabbed in the left hand at approximately 11:50 a.m. inside Pathways College Preparatory School, which is housed in the same structure as I.S. 192 The Linden, on 204th Street close to 111th Avenue in Hollis, according to the NYPD.
After being transported to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, the authorities declared her to be in stable condition.Authorities detained a “person of interest” who goes to the school and is reportedly 12 years old.
After the lunchtime “incident between students,” the school was put “on a hold,” a local Department of Education spokesperson named Jenna Lyle said.In a statement, Lyle stated, “Our students’ safety and wellbeing are our top priority.” “Any student who requires additional emotional support will receive it.”
Metal detectors are not usually installed in schools, but in the wake of the event, police and sources reported that the NYPD was “reverse-scanning” pupils who were already inside the building for weapons. The incident occurred just two days after police reported that a 14-year-old kid was stabbed in the chest during a scuffle outside M.S. 246 Walt Whitman in Flatbush, Brooklyn, following dismissal.
Before being transported to the Kings County Hospital Center, where he was reported in stable condition, the injured adolescent first fled back into his school, according to police and other sources.
