MENIFEE (CNS) – A fight between female students at a Menifee high school resulted in one of them being hospitalized and the other arrested, authorities said Thursday.

The violent encounter occurred Tuesday at Heritage High School on Briggs Road, according to the Menifee Police Department.

Capt. Dave Gutierrez said that the two students, whose identities were not disclosed, were involved in an “on-campus physical fight” that caused one girl to suffer unspecified injuries.

The reason for the altercation was unknown.

Campus officials did not learn about the tussle until the injured girl was discovered, after which she “was transported to a local hospital for treatment,” Gutierrez said.

He said that the youth was released from the hospital Wednesday and is expected to fully recover.

“The school resource officer conducted a thorough investigation, which included interviewing the involved students, interviewing witnesses and reviewing video that was taken by other students,” the police captain said. “Upon completion of the investigation, the SRO arrested the other involved student for felony assault.”

The girl was booked into Riverside Juveni
