Police have recorded the statement of the witnesses in relation to the 14-year-old student who is alleged to have been assaulted by another student at one of the prominent schools in Suva.

Police say they will question the suspect today.

The incident took place at the school last Wednesday where it is alleged that another student cracked the boy’s teeth and seriously injured his tongue.

The matter was reported to the Totogo Police Station.

Meanwhile, Minister for Education Rosy Akbar says there was no case of any student who was brutally assaulted by classmates.

When questioned by Fijivillage, Akbar says they have a report where a child suffered injuries at school and it is currently being investigated by police.
