New York City - Police Arrest 4 Students In 3 Boroughs

"A spate of crime ripped through city high schools yesterday with police arresting four students in three boroughs and confiscating two weapons - a loaded 9-mm handgun and a straight-edged razor."

All in a day's teaching.

"At 12:30 p.m. in a hallway at Grover Cleveland High School in Ridgewood, a 15-year-old girl slashed a 16-year-old girl in the face with a single-edged razor, police said."

Then...

"Two hours earlier, at Lincoln High School in Coney Island, a 15-year-old boy was arrested for bringing a 9-mm Ruger handgun to school, police said."

And for the trifecta...

"The third incident yesterday resulted in a Manhattan teacher being taken to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center in stable condition after being punched in the nose while trying to break up a fight between two students, girls ages 15 and 16, at Martin Luther King Jr. High School."
