LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A 14-year-old high school student in a southern Spanish town has been arrested after stabbing three teachers and two pupils with a knife.
The boy (name withheld), allegedly stabbed the five victims repeatedly shortly after classes started at the school in Jerez de la Frontera, Police spokesman, Adrian Dominguez, told journalists at the scene.
According to reports, the National Police received a call earlier today, alerting them that an armed individual was attacking people.
The student allegedly entered the classroom “angry” and sat in the back, then grabbed two“knives” from his backpack, to attack classmates and teachers.
Police sources further disclosed that they all received “varying degrees of severity” injuries and one of the teachers is in critical condition after suffering an eye injury.
“Another student, who suffered minor injuries, has already been released from the hospital where he was admitted this morning,” the source disclosed.

According to a classmate, also an eyewitness, the assailant approached one of his classmates from behind and stabbed him with two knives while screaming, “I’m going to kill you.”
The rest of the class left, and the biology teacher, who was in the room at the time, approached the adolescent and asked him to “please stop.”
The youngster allegedly then attacked her eye.
According to the EFE news agency, which spoke with another student at the school, the suspect “is not a problematic person, but he is always alone, he has ‘a thing,’ and I think he has lost his mind.”
Other sources claim the child may have been bullied because“some of his classmates laughed at him while others threw water on him in the playground.”
All pupils have been reportedly evacuated from the school while Police continue to investigate.
