'Stabbing' at school
by Hayley Robinson
Reports are coming in of a stabbing on a school sports
field.
Police and ambulance have been on the scene at Sittingbourne
Community College, in Swanstree Avenue.
The 15-year-old victim is believed to be a pupil, and was
stabbed at around 4.20pm.
It's understood he was struck in the stomach, but it's not
believed to be a knife.
A boy, who is believed to be 17 and not a pupil, was
arrested close to the school at 4.45pm. It's thought the boys knew
each other.
One eyewitness claimed the incident may have been sparked by a
row over a girl.
He claimed the victim's pal ran over to defend him, before the
attacker fled.
The police helicopter was scrambled and arrived as the youngster
was arrested, and was stood down.
Paramedics attended, but the boy's
condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
