MIAMI – A North Miami Beach Senior High School student accused of stabbing a classmate during a fight Thursday has been taken into custody.
Police say the student turned himself in.
Some students opted not to go to school on Friday.
“I known a couple of my friends who didn’t come today,” said one student.
Unlike some of her friends, she did go back to school after the scare on Thursday.
“One of our friends came up to us and was like, somebody got stabbed, somebody was stabbed,” she said.
The fight happened at around 12:30 p.m., during lunch at the school, located in the 1200 block of NE 167th Street.
Miami-Dade school police said two students argued, agreed to fight, then met out back near the bleachers without an audience and traded blows.
One of them grabbed a sharp object, stabbed the other child in the side, then ran away, according to police.
