WALDORF, Md. – On June 9, a 14-year-old student at Mattawoman Middle School grabbed another student by the neck and pushed them against a wall. A school staff member attempted to intervene but was struck in the chest by the 14-year-old, who then fled the hallway. A school resource officer encountered the student, but they were combative.
The officer and another staff member were able to escort the student to an office where the student’s parents were called. The injured student had visible marks around their neck and was treated by a school nurse.
The 14-year-old was charged on a juvenile offense report with first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and disturbing school activities. The investigation is ongoing.
