A 14-year-old Central Florida student was charged with felony assault for allegedly stabbing a classmate on a school bus, police told Local 6 News.
Lake County detectives said Michael Drnek, 14, allegedly stabbed another boy in the leg with a pocket knife after an argument on the bus.
Deputies said the injuries were only minor, but take the attack seriously enough to charge the teen with a felony.
'Who knows what could have happened in that situation," Lake County sheriff's Sgt. Christie Mysinger said. "We take these kind of incidents seriously for two reasons, one he had a weapon on campus and two he was willing to use the weapon."
Drnek is also being charged with aggravated battery and possession with a knife on school property.
