Po­lice are set to in­ves­ti­gate yet an­oth­er school fight, this time at the Ch­agua­nas South Sec­ondary School.

This was con­firmed yes­ter­day by Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion Dr Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly, who said the mat­ter has been re­ferred to the po­lice.

On Wednes­day, video footage of an al­ter­ca­tion be­tween two girls sur­faced on so­cial me­dia. One of the girls seemed to have been knocked un­con­scious dur­ing the in­ci­dent.

Gads­by-Dol­ly yes­ter­day said the stu­dent was treat­ed at a pub­lic health fa­cil­i­ty af­ter­wards and has a fol­low-up ap­point­ment to­day. She said the stu­dent has a med­ical con­di­tion and the in­ci­dent had in­ten­si­fied her symp­toms.

Gads­by-Dol­ly said the stu­dents’ par­ents were called to the school and of­fi­cers from the Stu­dent Sup­port Ser­vices Di­vi­sion are con­tin­u­ing to coun­sel the par­ties in­volved.

Mean­while, Ch­agua­nas East MP Van­dana Mo­hit strong­ly con­demned vi­o­lence at the sec­ondary school but com­mend­ed the ear­ly in­ter­ven­tion of the po­lice. She al­so re­quest­ed a small to­ken of ap­pre­ci­a­tion be giv­en to the boys seen help­ing the un­con­scious stu­dent.
