A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured at a secondary school which went into lockdown.
Children described to their parents how they were lying on the floor and hiding under the tables during the incident at The Birley Academy in Sheffield on Wednesday morning. A child was assaulted and two adults suffered minor injuries in the incident “involving a sharp object”, South Yorkshire Police said. But the weapon involved is understood to be a broken bottle rather than a knife.
” There was a visible police presence at the school on Wednesday lunchtime after officers first responded to the school on Birley Lane at around 8.50am. The school said it had gone into “lockdown” following the incident but that “all students and staff are safe”, and no-one was taken to hospital. Two adults were checked over at the scene after suffering minor injuries, the force said. A child was also checked over after being assaulted.
