PHOENIX — A fight between two students at a Valley school ended in one being hit with the handle of a pocketknife, according to officials with the Phoenix Police Department.
Officers responded to reports of a fight at Carl Hayden High School, near 35th Avenue and Roosevelt Street, just after 9 a.m. Officers were taken to two students in separate rooms, police said.
