BOSTON — An investigation is underway after a teenage student was stabbed by a classmate in the hallway of a high school in Boston on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
Officers responding to a report of a person stabbed inside Madison Park Technical Vocational High School at 75 Malcolm X Boulevard in the city’s Roxbury neighborhood just after noon found a 17-year-old suffering from a stab wound, according to the Boston Police Department.
The victim, who Boston Public Schools identified as a student of the high school, was rushed to a local hospital for the treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.
A BPS spokesperson also confirmed to Boston 25 News that the stabbing involved another student at the high school.
Boston 25 spoke to a student on scene who said he heard a lot of commotion in the hallway and when he turned the corner, he saw his classmate on the ground.
Madison Park and the nearby John D. O’Bryant School were placed in safe mode for a little more than 30 minutes after the stabbing. Regular activities then resumed as normal.
The suspect in the stabbing fled from the school after the incident, and police said officers are still working to track down their whereabouts.
BPS said a crisis response team will be made available for the rest of the week to support the school community.
“The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority, and we are taking this incident very seriously,” the BPS spokesperson said. “Our district crisis response team will be at the school today and for the rest of the week to support our school community.”
There were no additional details immediately available.
