Charges reduced against Muschett High student – teen to reappear in court Friday
A schoolgirl accused of stabbing another during a fight had the charge against her reduced when she appeared in the Family Court recently.
The Muschett High School teen, who was charged with wounding with intent, is now charged with unlawful wounding. Her case is set for mention on Friday.
The teen was charged after the injured girl was stabbed in the face and arm during the fight.
Several videos of the fight, the injuries, and even the detention of the alleged stabber by the police were posted on social media.
Both girls were suspended from school for two weeks after the incident. They have since returned to classes.
One video footage shows the two girls throwing punches and kicks. Some students looked on excitedly, cursing indecent language and cheering, while others tried to part the fight.
When they finally parted, one of the girls had blood on her school clothes from several stabs she received from what seemed to be a pen.
Another video showed the girl with the bleeding stab wounds standing alone as some students led her away, apparently to get treatment.
In another footage, the student accused of doing the stabbing is seen being taken from a bus by the police, while in a picture the student who was injured showed her sewed-up wounds.
