NASSAU, BAHAMAS – An Anatol Rodgers Junior High School student is in hospital tonight after he was stabbed multiples times during a lunch break. Concerned parents saying the school needs to beef up security measures.

The Anatol Rodgers High School was placed on lockdown this afternoon after the daily lunch break took a violent turn. According to Police Press Liaison Officer Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings, the boy was stabbed multiple times with a sharp object.

Skippings says all the boys involved are between the ages of 14 and 15-years-old.

Despite the violent attack, Skippings says the school is safe with few incidents, adding that up to three officers are stationed on the campus.
