The teacher who was stabbed at Tewkesbury Academy in Gloucestershire was injured in a corridor and remains in a stable condition in hospital having suffered a single stab wound, Gloucestershire Police has said.
A teenager, from Tewkesbury, fled the scene and was later arrested by armed officers in the nearby Stoke Orchard area on suspicion of attempted murder and a knife was recovered.
Assistant Chief Constable Richard Ocone told reporters outside Tewkesbury Academy: "Just after 9am we received a call from someone telling us about a threat to a teacher at Tewkesbury Academy. Minutes later we received a call from the ambulance service telling us that a male teacher had been stabbed in a corridor at the school. He was taken to hospital with a single stab wound and remains in a stable condition."
