Brandon Lepinski, a Grade 10 student at the school was in the classroom when the stabbing took place. "At first I thought it was a fight breaking out until one of my buddies grabbed the guy's hand and there was a barbecue fork in the guy's hand," he said. "There was blood on the ground when he got up, it was kind of dirty," he said. During the altercation in which multiple students jumped the assailant, Lepinski says the teacher was able to grab the fork. "He (the assailant) ran out of the room and that was basically it," said Lepinski. The student, who cannot be named because of the Young Offenders Act, was held in the school's office until police arrived, at which point he was taken into custody without incident. The student is now facing a charge of assault with a weapon. The victim of the stabbing was transported by Halton EMS to the hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. "The guy that got stabbed was conscious. He was walking down the stairs and the paramedics said his wounds DELIVERY For home delivery & customer service call 905-845-9742 Mon., Tues., & Thurs. 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Wed. & Fri. 8:30 a.m. - 7 p.m. or Saturday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. For new subscriptions, call 905-845-9742 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com OAKVILLE DODGE We're Moving to Trafalgar Rd.
