Fight Breaks Out at School In Strabane
A pupil has been arrested after a fight broke out at a Holy Cross College in Strabane, Co Tyrone.
It has been reported that a mass brawl broke out in the canteen at the school in the Melmount Road area.
The male has since been released into the custody of his parents.
Alliance Party member Stephen Donnelly said: "Details remain unclear but I hope the situation in Strabane's Holy Cross College is under control and that staff and pupils are safe.
"Concerned to hear that pupils and staff have been injured. It sounds as though a fight broke out in the canteen and it escalated badly, with teachers and students being injured."
