Student charged with assault to appear in court today

A 19 year old student who has been charged with assault in relation to a bus attack in Flagstaff on Monday will appear in court later today.

Police are also trying to establish the alleged involvement of an ex-scholar in the incident where some items were thrown into a school bus at Flagstaff.

Spokesperson, Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri has said that students should not be loitering around town and head straight home after school.

He confirmed that they are investigating the brawl at Service Street and Sukuna Park last Friday, the attack on the school bus at Flagstaff on Monday and an incident of an assault case on the Head Boy of one of the schools on Saturday night.

Police Commissioner, Brigadier General Ioane Naivalurua has issued a stern warning to students that anyone breaking the law will be taken to task.

He personally visited Marist Brothers High School and Suva Grammar School yesterday after the involvement of some students in the recent brawls.

Commissioner Naivalurua has called on the students to respect the law.
