Spain police detained a teenager for stabbing three teachers and two students at a school on Thursday.
The incident took place at a high school in Jerez de la Frontera in the south of the country, reports DW.
Police said the suspect was a 14-year-old who allegedly began repeatedly stabbing school staff and students after class had started.
"Police located the suspect on the third floor. He had in his possession the two knives used to attack three teachers and two students," police spokesman Adrian Dominguez said from the scene, adding that the student had been taken to a police station.
Regional education minister Patricacia del Pozo said that four of the injured were being treated in hospital, with a teacher requiring eye surgery after having been stabbed.
"I ask for great caution until the investigation is concluded," Del Pozo said in a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
