A stabbing at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman school in Ammanford, South Wales, has left three people injured and one person arrested. The incident occurred today, and police, including two air ambulances, rushed to the scene.
A video circulating on social media shows a schoolgirl slumped on the floor, and a female teacher can be heard screaming “get back, get inside now!” while horrified schoolchildren watch on. The school remains on lockdown, and staff and pupils have locked themselves inside classrooms and the kitchen for safety.
Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed in a statement released this afternoon that officers are “dealing with an incident at Amman Valley School”, adding that three people have been injured and are receiving treatment. The department also confirmed that one person has been arrested following the incident, and that officers are not seeking anyone else.
A spokesman said: “One person has been arrested and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident. Emergency services remain at scene and the school has been closed while investigations continue.
“We are working closely with the school and Carmarthenshire County Council. We are aware that there is footage of the incident currently circulating on social media.
“We would ask that this is removed to avoid contempt of court and distress to those affected. We would ask the people do not speculate while there is a police investigation ongoing.”
This is a developing story, and more information will be released as it becomes available.
