A TEENAGER at Horizon College was stabbed by another pupil using a craft knife.

It happened as the pair, both in year nine, were walking home from school at about 2.15pm last Friday.

Police said a boy, 14, was walking along Shaw Lane, Barnsley, when he was approached by another 14-year-old boy.

The pair argued and the first boy is believed to have been stabbed in the shoulder with a craft knife by the second boy, a police spokesman said.

Police and paramedics attended to treat the minor injury and the culprit was arrested and bailed.

A school spokesman: "The college is aware of the incident and will continue to work with the police.

"In the meantime, we would like to reassure parents the action taken by the college will reflect the seriousness of this isolated incident."
