On Tuesday, a 12-year-old boy was arrested after stabbing and injuring at least five other pupils in the town of Azambuja, 31 miles northeast of Lisbon.
The student victims, aged 12 to 14, largely suffered non-lethal wounds to their arms, as reported by Azambuja mayor Silvino Lúcio. According to the Portugal Resident, one of the victims of the attack may have been a teacher.
