Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement the stabbing, carried out with a razor knife, was the result of an ongoing argument between the male students which began two days ago.
Hall this evening declined to comment on what the argument was about.
The school’s resource officer, Deputy D. Solomon, was notified of the assault around 2 p.m., Hall said in the statement.
He found the 18-year-old had been stabbed in the side of his torso. The victim was initially treated by the school nurse before transport to an area medical facility where he was treated and released.
Hall said the 15-year-old was taken into secured custody and faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, resist, obstruct and delay, and possession of a weapon on educational property.
