NEW TAIPEI (TVBS News) — A teenager involved in a knife attack on a fellow student has been remanded in custody, while another teen accused of incitement has been placed under guardianship, as ruled by a youth court on Tuesday (Dec. 26).
The attack occurred the day before at a junior high school in New Taipei City, leaving the victim with a severe neck wound, resulting in significant blood loss and, at one point, signs of life ceased.
Investigations revealed that the accused is a third-grade junior high school student named Kuo. Allegedly, he attacked in defense of a female student who had been reprimanded by the victim. The girl had entered the victim's classroom in search of a friend and was scolded for not being in the correct class. Subsequently, the girl brought Kuo to the victim's classroom, leading to a dispute and the ensuing attack.
The attack was nearly fatal, and the victim was revived after undergoing five hours of treatment at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, as reported by officials.
