A video published on Wednesday shows three students repeatedly kicking another student lying on the ground in the hallway of Central High School. The beating was broken up by other students.
The video then shows the student who was repeatedly kicked pulls a knife from his pants. A fellow student yelled, “He’s got a knife.”
The student holding the knife then ran down a flight of stairs and was grabbed by Principal Robert DiMuccio, who was stabbed in a struggle with the student. DiMuccio was taken to Rhode Island Hospital by ambulance and treated for the injury.
The student who stabbed DiMuccio is facing multiple charges, including:
* assault on a school teacher causing serious bodily injury (FELONY)
* one count of resisting arrest
* one count of possession of a weapon on school grounds (FELONY)
The police are also investigating the three students who were captured at the beginning of the video.
