A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a teenage girl was allegedly stabbed at a school in Norwich. Police were called to the school in Thorpe St Andrew at 10:24am following reports of a stabbing. Emergency services, including firefighters and paramedics, attended the scene.
The boy was arrested nearby on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and is being questioned at Wymondham police investigation centre. The victim, also a teenager, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Norfolk police said the incident is not believed to be linked to reports of antisemitic chanting at the same school last week. The school, run by the Broad Horizons education trust, went into lockdown following the incident.
A spokesperson for the trust said: 'We have clear procedures in place and our staff acted swiftly, with the whole school going into lockdown with children staying in their classroom with their teacher. One of our students was injured and is now being treated in hospital for minor injuries.'
The school has about 1,900 pupils and was rated good in its most recent Ofsted inspection.
