One student stabbed another during a fight on a middle school soccer field in Montgomery County, Maryland, police say.
A fight broke out Tuesday afternoon between two groups of students from different schools on the soccer field beside Newport Mill Middle School in Kensington, police said.
During the fight, a student stabbed a boy with a pocket knife, according to police.
