Video Captures The Moment A Student Is Stabbed During Fight In California High School

TURLOCK (CBS13) — A student was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and a second student is facing a charge of attempted homicide after a fight at Turlock High School on Friday, officials say.

A lieutenant with the Turlock Police Department said the altercation started as “just a fistfight” that escalated to the suspect drawing a knife on the other student.

Videos taken by students show the violent nature of the fight that took place at 9 a.m. near the athletic fields.

The suspect also sustained an injury to his hand and was medically cleared shortly after. He is in custody at the Stanislaus County Juvenile Center.

It’s unclear what led up to the fight, but Turlock police say a teacher and the school resource officer, Jessica Clark, intervened in the fight.

Turlock Unified School District released a statement thankful for the teacher’s “swift action.”
