ESSEX, Md. — A middle school student assaulted with a pair of scissors in Baltimore County.
It happened Monday afternoon at Stemmers Run in Essex.
The school principal notified families in a letter, calling the incident "highly inappropriate behavior."
According to that letter, one student injured another with a pair of scissors inside a classroom.
The school nurse was able to treat the victim for a laceration to the upper body.
Administrators removed the student allegedly responsible. Baltimore County Police said they were charged, but Maryland law does not allow the release of juvenile arrest reports.
"We understand this incident was upsetting for students who witnessed this incident," the principal's letter stated. "The safety of our students is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a positive learning environment."
