A high school student in Richmond has been injured in an assault at school, and RCMP say a second student is under investigation.

Police say the assault happened at Hugh Boyd Secondary last Thursday and a 14-year-old girl suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

A 17 year old male was arrested at the school and later released to his legal guardian while the investigation continues.

Mounties say the Youth Criminal Justice Act prevents them from providing many other details, but they say the incident can affect the entire school community and they are working to ensure the safety and well-being of all those involved.
