Multiple outlets report that a teenage boy is left with life-threatening injuries following an alleged stabbing at a high school in Brisbane. The incident is said to involve an altercation between two students at Islamic College of Brisbane in Karawatha, south of the city. Police sources cited by the reports indicate the alleged incident occurs at about 11.45am on Tuesday.
All accounts agree the injured 17-year-old was taken to hospital with critical or life-threatening injuries and is fighting for life. Several outlets also reference that Queensland police have arrested another teenager in connection with the incident; the reported age varies across coverage, with one outlet specifying a 16-year-old. The allegations focus on an altercation between the two students at school, with authorities treating it as a suspected stabbing.
The reports do not provide details on the cause of the confrontation or the status of the investigation beyond the arrest and hospitalisation of the injured student. Authorities are expected to continue inquiries as information becomes available.
