A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after an alleged knife attack on another teenager outside a Wishaw school.
The incident took place at 8.50am on Tuesday October 21. Reports have suggested the boy was heading to St Aidan’s when he was stabbed in a lane off Yarrow Crescent, a short walk from the school. The boy was taken to hospital and has been released.
Police said inquiries are continuing but that a 15-year-old is subject to a report to the Children’s Reporter.
A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council Learning and Leisure said: “There was an incident on Tuesday October 21 outside of the high school, involving two of our students, during which a knife was allegedly used.
“The incident took place outside school grounds and before the start of school. This was a serious incident and we immediately contacted the police.”
A number of St Aidan’s pupils took to Twitter shortly after the alleged attack took place with many expressing their dismay and frustrations.
