Teen stabbed by fellow pupil

(ANSA) - Salerno, February 15 - A 15-year-old student has had surgery in hospital and is in non-life-threatening condition after being stabbed in the neck and abdomen by a fellow pupil during a row at Salerno's Genovesi-da Vinci high school.
    The 16-year-old aggressor, from the town of Pontecagnano Faiano, threw the small knife he used to stab the victim in a school corridor from a window, but it was recovered by police, sources said. The incident was sparked by a row over an umbrella, the sources said. Police said the pair scuffled before the aggressor stabbed the victim near his jugular vein.
    He was urgently operated on and is set to have a CAT scan that should give an accurate picture of his condition Tuesday.
    The aggressor was said to come from a "difficult" family background and his father was arrested a week ago on drugs charges. The head of the school, Nicola Annunziata, said "you can't talk about bullying but about a full-blown criminal act.
    "The school will obviously take measures," he said.
    "It isn't a school matter but a fully fledged crime".
