He said an 11-year-old boy needed six stitches to close a wound on his arm, while a 10-year-old student sustained cuts that did not require stitches.
According to Linhardt, there was apparently a verbal altercation that occurred earlier in the day between the suspect and one of the victims.
The suspect was taken into custody by the Department of Juvenile Justice on Tuesday on two counts of aggravated battery.
