Police have reportedly made an arrest after a fight broke out in the canteen at a school yesterday afternoon.
The incident took place in Holy Cross College in Strabane, Co Tyrone, and it is said that both staff and students were involved in the incident.
“All parents of the pupils involved have been contacted,” a police spokeswoman said in a statement.
“No serious injuries have been reported at this stage.”
After the incident, police arrested a male, however, it is said he has now been released home to his parents.
School principal Maria Doherty revealed that over 600 students were in the canteen area when the fight broke out.
“We decided to call the PSNI because of the number of students we had in the canteen and social area at that time, and the potential this situation had to escalate, so it was a supportive role,” she told Independent.ie.
Should be made clear - Holy Cross is a great school that has faithfully served Strabane, and shouldn't be judged just by today's incident.
