Student slashed in leg in fight inside Fort Worth high school
A student was slashed on his ankle during a fight inside a southeast Fort Worth high school Wednesday, authorities said.
The victim, a Polytechnic High School senior, is a member of the student council who was working on a project after school when he was assaulted, said Clint Bond, a Fort Worth school district spokesman.
The assailant, also a student, was among a group of four juniors who came inside the school and were asked by a district employee to leave, Bond said. The assailant began to leave, then returned and cut the victim, Bond said.
The student was slashed about 5 p.m. He was taken to a hospital with a minor injury, said Officer Ivan Gomez, a Fort Worth police spokesman.
Police had not identified the assailant, Gomez said.
