Police are currently investigating two separate incidents involving student injuries. Around 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, altercations erupted among groups of students on High Street. In the first incident, a 16-year-old male student reported being assaulted by a group of approximately six other students while walking with friends, resulting in injuries to his left arm and temple.
In a different occurrence, a 17-year-old male student was attacked by another group of students in the same vicinity, leading to a wound on his right arm. Both individuals received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, and investigations are still ongoing.
The Police Administration has expressed deep concern over the increasing violence among students, urging parents, guardians, and the broader community to take a more active role in guiding and supervising young people.
The public is encouraged to assist law enforcement in addressing this escalating issue and to report any behavior that could potentially lead to violence.
Schools should be safe spaces we need answers and stronger measures.
Violence has no place in schools. Authorities must act swiftly and fairly.
Values start in the home. If the home is chaotic, the children will reflect that outside.
Glad the police are taking this seriously. Violence among students needs immediate intervention.
Bringing children into this world right now is just criminal. This generation is WICKED
Too many young people raising themselves with no guidance or discipline at home

Parents, teachers, and the wider community all need to work together on this. The environment our students are growing up in is clearly affecting their behaviour
Good job responding quickly. Hoping they find out what triggered these altercations.
Some parents need to stop acting shocked. Children learn aggression somewhere.
