A student of Lennon High School in Clarendon has been hospitalised after being injured in a fight with a schoolmate outside the front gate of the institution on Monday.
A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows the boy being struck in the face by what appears to be a stone flung at close quarters, by another boy with whom he was tussling.
The boy collapsed and lay on the ground motionless, as screams could be heard from among the crowd of students gathered at the scene.
The boy, who was lying face down, with his knapsack still on his back, was eventually turned over by another male student.
A trail of blood could be seen on the ground from a gaping wound on the boy’s face.
The video ended at that point.
Head of the Clarendon Police, Superintendent Carlos Russell, says the matter is being investigated.
