An unfortunate incident occurred at Brentwood Park Primary School on Bemersyde Drive in Berwick, where an eight-year-old boy was stabbed on the school premises around 9 a.m.

Emergency responders, including Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) paramedics, quickly attended to the young boy. Fortunately, his injuries were not life-threatening and he did not need to be hospitalized.

In addition to the boy, two other individuals received medical attention on-site, among them a female staff member who suffered minor injuries.

Following the incident, authorities engaged with an 11-year-old boy, who has since been taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
