SSP Phipps say they are investigating another incident in which he may be involved.

“However, he is still in our custody as we are investigating a second incident in which he is alleged to have punched another student who became unconscious and is still admitted to a nearby hospital,” SSP Phipps said.

The police said they are seeking to have the accused placed in a juvenile facility pending the outcome of the investigation involving the hospitalised student.
