PETERSBURG, Va. — Petersburg police say a boy took a knife to his elementary school and stabbed a 6-year-old classmate during recess.
WWBT-TV reports that police said the attack happened Tuesday at Walnut Hill Elementary School and the school notified parents on Wednesday.
The student used a pocketknife, injuring another 6-year-old boy from his earlobe to his face.
The injured student is expected to be OK and police say it was an isolated incident between those two students. No one else was hurt.
After consulting with the Commonwealth’s Attorney, police say the child who brought the knife is not expected to face criminal charges.
