Los Angeles school police arrested a 15-year-old Pacific Palisades High School student Wednesday after authorities said he fought with a schoolmate off campus and then stabbed him with a jackknife.
The victim, 14, was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in stable condition with a single stab wound and a collapsed lung. Police did not identify either youth.
The 15-year-old suspect was booked by school police on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, said Sgt. Jose Santome, a department spokesman. The incident took place around 2:30 p.m. along Temescal Canyon Road in Pacific Palisades, witnesses said. The boys fought with their fists, but as the 14-year-old began to walk away, the older boy took out a Swiss Army knife and plunged it into the victim’s back, Santome said.
