One injured, one in custody after Davidson HS fight

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - A 15-year-old Davidson High School student was led out of school on a stretcher Tuesday afternoon suffering from a number of stab wounds. Mobile police said the victim got in a fight with another 15-year-old girl and was stabbed with a box cutter.

The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she has been arguing with her attacker in person and on Facebook for about a year. She said she has received threats before and was being verbally assaulted at school Tuesday afternoon.

“They were boosting her up (the attacker) to fight everybody. They kept telling her to ‘Go! Go! Go!,’ and they were boosting her up to fight her,” said the victim’s cousin.

The victim said she fought back and didn’t realize she had been injured until after the fight was over.

"I didn't know she had a weapon until after they told me to touch my head. I was bleeding. It was all over my clothes," the victim said.

"I didn't see it (the box cutter) until it dropped, and they broke the fight up. It was black at the tip."

“She could have killed my child. The wound to her head was severe enough that she could have killed her if it went down a bit further,” the victim’s mother said. 

Rescue paramedics took the injured student to the hospital where she was treated for wounds to her head, chest and arm.

“She had to get nine stitches to the head. Her chest was glued, and she had a stab wound to her arm,” said the victim’s mother. 

She was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. But taken back Tuesday night after her mother said her nose began bleeding, and she had a severe headache.

The victim said she never felt scared at school and plans to return later in the week.

Police arrested the alleged attacker and took her to Strickland Youth Center where is being charged with assault second degree.

Marcie McNeal with the MCPSS said the student being charged has been suspended.
