MONTREAL — A suspect is in custody after a stabbing at a Montreal high school that sent a teacher to hospital with mild injuries.

Montreal police say the incident occurred at about 10 a.m. today at John F. Kennedy High School in the city’s north-end St-Michel neighbourhood

They say the suspect, who is believed to be a student, was arrested near the school and was being taken to a detention centre for questioning.

The teacher, a man in his 40s, was taken to hospital with superficial injuries that are not life-threatening.

Police spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant says the school was briefly locked down while police tracked down the suspect, but that order has since been lifted.
