Boy, 10, held over ‘attack’ on teachers in Orpington

A 10-year-old boy has been arrested over an alleged attack on two teachers at a school in south-east London.

One of the victims, who are both women, suffered a broken leg and suspected dislocated kneecap and the other had a facial injury, Scotland Yard said.

Police went to Avalon Road, Orpington, at 13:00 GMT on Thursday.

The boy, who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, has since been bailed to return on a date in mid-February.

Both women, who are in their 50s, were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital in Orpington.
