A Grade 11 student was injured after a stabbing incident inside Cavite National High School, raising concerns about student safety and security.
According to the Cavite City Police, the victim, an 18-year-old student, suffered wounds to his arm and back after being attacked by a fellow Grade 11 student. Investigators said the incident stemmed from a long-standing conflict between the suspect and the victim.
Authorities learned that before the stabbing took place, the suspect had reportedly challenged another student, who was a friend of the victim, to a fistfight. The situation gets worse when the students encounter each other inside the school grounds.
