Richmond RCMP is investigating an alleged assault that happened on Thursday (April 21) at Hugh Boyd secondary.
The incident appears to have involved two students at the school. Emergency Health Services transported a 14-year-old girl to hospital for treatment of serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The second youth involved, a 17-year-old boy, was arrested by police and later released to his legal guardian at the scene.
Due to privacy concerns and the confines of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, Richmond RCMP cannot release further details or the names of those involved.
“We recognize that these types of incidents can have a detrimental effect on an entire school community,” says Cpl. Ian Henderson. “Richmond RCMP’s victim services personnel and school liaison officers are engaged and working with the Richmond School District to ensure the safety and well-being of all those affected.”
The investigation remains ongoing.
