The NYPD said that a 12-year-old girl was injured with a knife at J.H.S. 123 James M. Kieran School in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx on Wednesday morning.
It was just after 9:30 a.m. when police were called to the school, which is not a scanning school. They found the girl with a cut on her right leg.
The woman was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in good condition, and she is expected to get better.
The police say that another 14-year-old student cut the girl. This is the latest incident in a long line of times when different kinds of guns were used or found in New York City schools.
