15yo student tasered and arrested at North Sydney Boys High after knife incident
A 15-year-old student who allegedly left the classroom at North Sydney Boys’ High School with a knife was tasered and taken into custody.
A NSW police spokesman said police were called to a high school on Falcon St in North Sydney at around 12.40pm on Thursday following reports that a student was carrying a knife.
“Officers from North Shore Police Area Command attended and were told there had been a fight between two students in the classroom before one of the students left with a knife,” the spokesman said.
The school was quarantined while the police searched for the young man.
He was eventually located by police, who subdued him with a stun gun before arresting him.
The student was hospitalized and the quarantine was lifted just after 1:30 p.m.
A NSW Department of Education spokesperson confirmed the quarantine was implemented “as a precaution”.
“All students and staff are safe and students continued classes after 1.30pm,” the spokesman said.
Police reported that their investigations into the matter are continuing.
