After two students suffered numerous significant injuries at a private school, a 16-year-old boy was detained.
At around one in the morning on Friday, Devon and Cornwall Police were called to the Blundell’s School campus in Tiverton, Devon, in response to complaints of a violent assault.
According to the police, three people—including two students—were assaulted and suffered “multiple serious injuries.”
They were brought to a hospital for medical attention.
A 16-year-old boy from Tiverton has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and remains in police custody.
Superintendent Antony Hart, local policing commander said: ‘This is a very traumatic incident for those involved and the wider school community and we will continue to work closely with the school, providing support to those involved.
‘At this time it is understood that all parties involved are linked to the school. I am keen to reassure the community that there is no wider risk, and we are not seeking anyone else in relation to this matter.
‘Throughout the day we will continue with searches and enquiries in the vicinity of the school while we are in the early stage of our investigation.’
