A teenager has been arrested after he stabbed a teacher at a secondary school in the UK, reports Breaking News.
Gloucestershire Police said an adult was taken to hospital with suspected stab injuries after Tewkesbury School on Ashchurch Road in Tewkesbury closed.
Police said officers were called around 9:10am on Monday to report a student had stabbed a teacher and a teenage boy had been arrested, reports Breaking News.
Earlier on Monday, teachers at nearby Tirlebrook Primary School posted a message on Facebook saying the school had also closed on the advice of police and asking parents not to come to school.
“An incident has occurred this morning at Tewkesbury Academy and we have been advised by Tewkesbury Police to put in place a lock down,” they said, reports Breaking News.
“We have a police presence at school and are being fully supported at this time. We would like to reassure all families that children at Tirlebrook and Little Oaks are safe and well. We must ask that families do not come to school during this time as this could compromise the police operation currently underway and also compromise the safety of the children. During this situation all school staff will be supporting the children and liaising with the police so we would ask that you do not attempt to communicate with the school office. We thank you all for your support and will update you as soon as possible when we know more,” they added, reports Breaking News.
