MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - One police officer suffered a hand injury Wednesday while struggling with a student after breaking up a fight in a high school cafeteria, officials said.
A school resource officer at Memorial High School noticed two students fighting in the lunchroom around 11:45 a.m. and managed to separate them and remove them from the area, according to Manchester police.
But when officers returned to the cafeteria they found a large group of about 30 students who had become “hostile” and that’s when police say a 16-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly getting aggressive with a female officer.
One officer suffered a hand injury during the incident.
It’s unclear when the student will be arraigned on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
