An eighth-grade student at Jefferson Middle School was arrested last Thursday after a violent on-campus fight left a female classmate and a staff member injured, rattling parents and teachers and putting Northside ISD’s safety protocols under the microscope.
District officials said NISD police took the student into custody on a charge of assault causing bodily injury and have launched disciplinary proceedings. Part of the attack was reportedly caught on a cellphone video that has circulated among parents, fueling calls for clearer answers about how such an incident could unfold during the school day.
According to News 4 San Antonio, the confrontation started as a fight between two male students. It escalated when one of the boys allegedly turned on a female classmate, and a staff member who tried to intervene was also hurt. In a statement, the district said, “This behavior is unacceptable and has no place in our learning environments.”
