A William Floyd High School student has been arrested in the Tuesday stabbing of another student in Mastic Beach, the school and Suffolk County police said.
Late Tuesday morning, a male student was near the school but off school grounds, at Madison Street and Mastic Road, when he was stabbed, police said. A spokeswoman for the school said Wednesday the person arrested was also a male student, but said she had no other information.
The stabbing victim went to the school nurse's office for treatment and then was taken to a hospital.
Seventh Squad detectives were assigned to investigate the case, which might have begun as a street fight, a police spokeswoman said.
