Melbourne School Stabbing: 11-Year-Old Questioned
27 Nov
Summary
- An 11-year-old boy was questioned over an alleged stabbing at a Melbourne primary school.
- An eight-year-old boy sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the incident.
- Two Melbourne schools were placed into lockdown following the event.
An incident at Brentwood Park Primary School in Berwick, Melbourne, has led to an 11-year-old boy being questioned by police. The alleged stabbing occurred on Thursday morning, resulting in an eight-year-old boy sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. Paramedics treated the injured student at the scene, and he did not require hospitalisation. A woman also received treatment for minor injuries at the location.
The school, along with nearby Kambrya College, was placed under lockdown for approximately 90 minutes as authorities responded. Many parents arrived to collect their children even into the afternoon. This event has raised concerns, particularly as it follows several other recent school lockdowns in the Melbourne area attributed to alleged knife-related incidents.
Recent weeks have seen multiple alarming reports, including an incident on November 19 where police responded to calls of two males possibly armed with machetes near Elsternwick Primary and North Brighton Children's Centre. Another incident on November 11 involved machete-wielding individuals terrorizing Hampton East School, a special needs institution. Police are seeking information regarding the Brentwood Park Primary School incident.
