A 13-year-old boy has sustained superficial stab wounds following an incident within a Philadelphia private school classroom. The stabbing occurred on Wednesday at approximately 9:15 a.m. at the Community Council Learning Academy, a facility that caters to special education needs and provides emotional support for its students. According to details provided by FOX 29, the school, located in Philadelphia's Feltonville section, was put on temporary lockdown following the event.

The victim, who suffered injuries to his arm, did not require extensive treatment at the scene, where medics were promptly available. The perpetrator, identified as a 14-year-old boy, was taken into custody with a weapon being subsequently recovered. As reported by 6ABC, the lockdown has since been lifted, and the Community Council Learning Academy has disclosed no further details about what led to the stabbing.

In an attempt to explain the nature of the incident, a Philadelphia School District spokesperson, Monique Braxton, revealed that the altercation involved a pair of scissors. "Philadelphia Police are working closely with the Office of School Safety, District leaders, and the parents of the students to investigate and understand all of the circumstances surrounding this incident," Braxton wrote in a statement obtained by NBC Philadelphia. "The School District of Philadelphia is focused on the safety and well-being of the entire school community."

The specific motivations behind the stabbing have yet to be disclosed. The school, according to its website, is a state-licensed private academic institution designed for children who require specialized educational support. As the investigation unfolds, details will likely emerge to provide a clearer picture of the circumstances that led to the youth being harmed.
