WARRING STUDENTS from two secondary schools hurled rocks at each other through windows of their after-school buses over the past two days, witnesses and the police said.

On Wednesday, 11-year-old Joshua Springer of the Princess Margaret School, who was not involved in the dispute, was caught in the crossfire when schoolchildren from an urban secondary school, travelling in one bus, pelted at a bus loaded with children from rural secondary schools, as the two buses passed each other in opposite directions at Fairview, Christ Church.

The boy was struck in the face and received injuries to his nose and eye. He sought private medical treatment.
