A primary school student and a staff member have sustained minor injuries after they were allegedly stabbed by another boy at school.
Police are investigating after an eight-year-old boy sustained non-life-threatening injuries when he was stabbed at Brentwood Park Primary School, in Melbourne's southeast on Thursday.
The boy and a female staff member, who also sustained minor injuries, were treated by paramedics on school grounds and did not require hospital treatment, Victoria Police said.
An 11-year-old boy, alleged to be the stabber, was located and spoken to by police before he was later taken to hospital for assessment.
The education department is working with Brentwood Park Primary regarding an incident involving a young student who behaved in a "dangerous manner."
"The school enacted its safety procedures, and police and paramedics attended the school," a spokesperson said in a statement.
"We are supporting both the staff member and the student and are providing additional wellbeing supports to those who need it."
The investigation is ongoing, and the school was able to resume normal operations shortly after the incident.
