KUWAIT CITY, May 31: A violent assault involving two tenth-grade students has left a classmate seriously injured and hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Al-Adan Hospital. The attack, classified as a felony assault, was recorded by Abu Halifa Police Station and has sent shockwaves through the local school community.

According to security sources, the incident occurred on Thursday shortly after students finished their final exams at a school in the Mangaf area. The two suspects confronted their classmate near a grocery store just outside the school premises. In a sudden and calculated assault, each of the attackers wielded a knife and stabbed the victim six times, once in the upper chest, once in the back, and once in the left hand, among other wounds.

Preliminary investigations suggest the motive was retaliation. The victim had earlier intervened to defend a fellow student who was being bullied by the suspects for a speech impediment. He reportedly reprimanded them, urging them to stop their mockery and leave the classmate alone, an act of courage that may have provoked the violent reprisal.

The injured student was rushed to Al-Adan Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU due to the severity of the stab wounds. Doctors later stabilized his condition and transferred him to a general ward.

Security forces acted swiftly, with detectives apprehending the suspects and referring them to the Juvenile Prosecution Office for further legal action.

Speaking on behalf of the victim, attorney Abdulrahman Al-Huwaishil condemned the attack and voiced concern over the growing trend of violence among students. He called on education and security authorities to address this alarming phenomenon with urgency.

“This was not just a schoolyard fight; it was a deliberate, premeditated act of violence,” said Al-Huwaishil. “We will seek the maximum legal penalties available to ensure justice is served and to deter future incidents of this nature.”
