One teen hospitalized, another arrested after fight at De Anza High School

CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA) - A teenager was hospitalized and another was arrested after a fight at De Anza High School in Calexico.

Parents reported the fight on social media Wednesday, describing the brutal injuries suffered by the 16-year-old teen at the hands of another student of the same age.

The school resource officer, who was already on campus, responded to the fight.

"At that point, a victim was identified, a juvenile that had sustained injury during the altercation. That juvenile was later transported to a local hospital for treatment. During the investigation, the suspect in the case was identified, which is another juvenile. He was identified, and he was located, that juvenile has been charged and was booked into juvenile hall," explained Acting Lt. Miguel Carbajal of the Calexico Police Department.

This week alone, at least three teens in Calexico have been arrested for fighting.

The school issued a press release saying they will not tolerate these types of incidents.
