THREE people have been hospitalised and another injured after an attack at a Scottish high school.
Three teachers and a 14-year-old pupil were hurt at Johnstone High School in Renfrewshire on Friday morning.
Other classes were shut inside their rooms while police officers patrolled the corridors, according to reports.
A 16-year-old former pupil has been traced in connection with the incident, police said. They later added that she had been charged and, due to her age, the case would be sent to the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration.
It was confirmed that no weapon was used.
The BBC reported that a video of the incident was taken and is circulating among the school's pupils.
A Renfrewshire Council spokesperson said: “There was an incident at Johnstone High School today involving a former pupil.
“A pupil and three teachers were injured and received appropriate medical treatment.
"Police Scotland attended immediately and the individual involved has been traced, with enquiries ongoing.
“The school continued to operate as normal and senior staff are providing any support needed to staff and pupils impacted by this incident.”
