Police confirm two Maple Heights High School students were taken to area hospitals following a fight that saw one of them stab another with a box cutter during classes on Tuesday.
According to a press release, the two teens had a history of fighting "in the recent past" before getting into another "disagreement" that saw them begin to fight each other inside a classroom. After the altercation was briefly broken up, one student got a box cutter from his bookbag and cut the other student on the forehead and abdomen.
After security and police officers arrived, both students were taken into custody. The student who was cut was treated at the scene by firefighters and eventually taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where he is said to be in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
The student with the box cutter cut himself on his own hand and was transported to Cleveland Clinic Marymount Hospital with "superficial injuries," per authorities. He is currently being held at the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Detention Center on charges of felonious assault.
