Teen Intervening In A Fight Gets Stabbed 'Multiple Times On His Head': Police

A 17-year-old boy in India who intervened in a fight between his teacher and two brothers was stabbed several times Monday, according to police.

The accused, identified as 25-year-old local resident Shishpal, was arrested, along with his younger brother, a minor, in connection to the incident that occurred outside a tutoring center in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar, the Times of India reported.

According to police, the two suspects allegedly often used to target and abuse passersby outside the tuition center run by AD Mahesh for grade school to high school students.

Locals reportedly told police that the two suspects began creating a commotion when classes were ongoing Monday.

"When Mahesh objected, they picked a fight with him. As the argument grew violent, one of Mahesh's students intervened. The argument turned nasty and Shishpal's younger brother gave him a knife, with which he stabbed the student multiple times on his head. As the student fell unconscious, bleeding profusely, the brothers fled to their house," a senior police officer was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
