Police arrested a Dartmouth High School student who reportedly tried to stab a classmate with a makeshift weapon Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities.

Officers responded to the high school around 10:30 a.m. to investigate a 911 call that came from inside the building.

An investigation revealed that a student had retreated into a nearby office shortly after being approached by the suspect in the hallway. The suspect tried to stab the victim using “a pen with a screwdriver on the other end,” according to police.
