A secondary school student in Singapore was arrested after cutting a teacher with a penknife on Monday.
In response to queries for comment, Bartley Secondary School said on Tuesday that the teacher was taken to hospital, where he received outpatient treatment.
“He has been given medical leave and is recovering well at home,” the school’s principal Britta Seet said, adding that a police report was made.
“The student is assisting with the investigation and has not returned to school,” Seet added.
Police confirmed that a report was lodged, and a student was arrested.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that it received a call for help at about 12.25pm on Monday, adding that one person was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
“We are in touch with the student and the student’s parents, and will continue to provide support to the student and affected staff,” the school principal said.
