Student Stabbed And Attacked With Meat Cleaver At Toronto High School

It has been another violent day in the GTA. This time the scene is a Toronto high school and the victim is a student.

Reports indicate a teenage boy was stabbed in the left shoulder and slashed on the back with a knife and then suffered a puncture wound to his head after being bludgeoned with a meat cleaver. It happened on the grounds of Georges S. Henry Academy on Graydon Hall Dr. in the Don Mills and York Mills area.

It's not clear what sparked the noontime dispute but police are on the hunt for three young teens about the victim's age who are also believed to be students at the school. They're said to be dressed in the academy's uniform, which consists of black pants and white shirts.

They're believed to be armed with the knife and a hammer used in the attack.

The victim was seriously hurt and he's been taken to hospital to be treated for his wounds.

It's the second such incident in a Toronto high school this week. On Monday, a 15-year-old was stabbed in the chest at Newtonbrook Secondary School near Yonge and Steeles. His wounds weren't life threatening, either.

It's also not the first time sirens have screamed to this campus. On April 10th, a knife fight near the school drew blood between several battling attackers. The next day, a reported gun sighting led to a lockdown that lasted several hours. A student was later charged with mischief, after the report proved to be false.

And on June 6th, Henry went into a lockdown again after a student was pistol whipped inside one of the washrooms. A suspect surrendered the next day.
