A 16-year-old girl of a Corporate Area high school has been left nursing serious injuries to her cheek, tongue and gum, after she was stabbed through the jaw with a scissors during a fight with another student about a boy.

The shocking incident between the students, who attend different schools, happened last Friday along Whitehall Avenue, St Andrew.

The victim's guardian told THE WEEKEND STAR that the child was unable to speak shortly after the attack but is now recovering and can speak again.

THE WEEKEND STAR was told that last Friday, the victim was walking along the road when she was trailed by her attacker who reportedly started an argument with her. It is alleged that the attacker was armed with a scissors and a fight developed between both girls.

The victim, it is alleged, also obtained a scissors from a friend, and during the fight she was stabbed in the cheek. A doctor who is aware of the case told THE WEEKEND STAR that the scissors made its way through the girl's cheek, pinched her tongue and cut her gums. She also lost a tooth.

The child's guardian told THE WEEKEND STAR that the girls have a long-standing feud which came to a head sometime ago when the alleged attacker came to the house and cursed the victim. She also said the child has been threatened numerous times.

Despite this, no report has been made to the police about this latest incident. She, however, told THE WEEKEND STAR that she would consider taking the matter to the police.
