Student assaulted in Chelsea High School classroom
The victim’s mother took her daughter to urgent care, where she was diagnosed with a concussion and had an x-ray done on her bruised hand, the mother told NBC Boston.
A 16-year-old student was reportedly attacked by another student in a Chelsea High School classroom on Tuesday.
The sophomore was in her second-period class when another student and her two friends entered the classroom, according to NBC Boston. The teachers asked the students to leave and then went to call security, the station reported.
In a video shown by NBC Boston, the student who entered the classroom threw a chair at the other student, and then used her hands and feet to attack her.
After receiving a call from her daughter, the victim’s mother took her to urgent care where she was diagnosed with a concussion and had an x-ray done on her bruised hand, the mother told NBC Boston. She also had a bloody lip.
