KUCHING, Oct 21: A secondary school student at a local private school has injured a teacher who attempted to confiscate a sharp object from him this morning.
The police were called immediately following the incident.
According to a notice issued to parents, staff, and students today, no other teachers or students were harmed during the incident.
“The student was promptly restrained and escorted to the Principal’s Office before police arrived to take over the matter,” the notice stated.
The notice also stated that during a search of the student’s bag, police identified an item requiring further examination.
The school has temporarily closed to facilitate ongoing police investigations.
Meanwhile, Acting Sarawak Police Commissioner Saifullizan Ishak confirmed the case in a statement.
He however clarified that the case only involved a pen knife and not an axe.
“I confirm the incident took place. There was no axe involved, only a pen knife,” said Saifullizan.
A video allegedly recorded by the student has spread rapidly across online platforms. An axe was spotted in the video, thus the explanation of Saifullizan.
