FRIENDSWOOD, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a student was stabbed five times inside a biology classroom at his high school in Southeast Texas, and that a 15-year-old student has been charged.
Galveston County sheriff's officials say the victim was hospitalized in stable condition Friday with injuries to his abdomen and arms that aren't considered life-threatening.
Investigators believe the victim bumped into the suspect as the two were leaving a classroom Thursday afternoon at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, about 20 miles southeast of Houston. The boys' names haven't been released.
Capt. Peter Sifuentes (suh-FWEN'-tays) says the suspect is in juvenile custody on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Sifuentes said the suspect had a folding pocketknife and stayed in the classroom until officers arrived.
