A teenage girl is in custody following an alleged stabbing of another girl during a fight at Delview Secondary in North Delta Wednesday afternoon.
According to Delta police, two 15-year-old girls were involved in a fight on the grounds of the school on 116th Street when one of them pulled a knife and stabbed the other in the arm.
The injuries are described by police as non-life threatening.
Police and the school district are investigating the incident, which took place around 2:30 p.m. and resulted in a lockdown of the school.
