Stabbing At Spring Valley High School Leaves 3 Students Injured

SPRING VALLEY, NY — There is a large police presence at Spring Valley High School as police investigate a stabbing, according to Spring Valley PD officials.

Just after 2 p.m. Friday, as Spring Valley High School students were being dismissed for the weekend, school security responded to reports of an argument among students in a school parking lot. The Spring Valley Police Department School Resource Officer and school security broke up the fight, but two students suffered lacerations from a knife and a third student suffered minor abrasions to the face, according to school officials.

One person was taken into custody. Spring Valley Police detectives and school district security are investigating what triggered the violence.

The student with the most severe injury was transported to Westchester Medical Center in stable condition and the other students with less severe injuries are being treated at hospitals in Rockland County.

"While this incident is serious, the safety and well-being of our students is of primary importance," school officials said in a statement Friday afternoon. "The East Ramapo Central School District has a zero-tolerance policy regarding violence in any of our school buildings or campuses."

The Spring Valley Police Department is asking anyone with information about today's violence to call 845-356-7400.
