During the scuffle, a student was stabbed in the leg by another student.

Administrators in the area at the time responded to separate the students.

The injured student was provided medical attention. Their condition is unknown at this time.

It's also unknown what the student was stabbed with.

Oscar Marquez told WMAR-2 News it was his 13-year old daughter who was arrested.

"[She had] some problem with other people. I don't know what else but the police took her to the police station right now," he said, "They said they have videos at the school and they said she had something to cut like a knife."

A parent, who declined to show her face or reveal her name, told WMAR-2 News that her son told her about the shocking situation.

"[It's] horrible to hear when you pick your kid up that something like this is happening and you see your children in school and think this is a safe place and it's really not," she said.

She also said this kind of danger is an unfortunate case of deja vu at the school.

"They've had four shutdowns in this school year."

Now, she's thinking of alternative education methods for her son.

"I want to homeschool my kid and just constantly pray and pray for the world we're around."

Marquez said there's only one thing on his mind as he prepared to go to the police station.

"I don't know, I'll try to get a lawyer or something because she's only 13-years-old so."

In a letter sent to parents, the principal of Nottingham Middle expressed that the students involved in the incident will receive "serious consequences."

School officials say the incident remains under investigation.
