"Horseplay" Leads to Injuries, Arrests at Alta Loma Middle School
A student was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
A fight among students at a South San Francisco middle school led to a stabbing Tuesday morning, police said.
Police were called to at 116 Romney Ave. at about 11 a.m.
The altercation apparently started as "horseplay" between two students during class, but the fight got out of control when one of the students involved was given a small folding knife by another student and used it to jab at the victim, police said.
