After an hours-long manhunt, Gloucestershire cops on Monday evening claimed to have arrested a Tewkesbury Academy student for allegedly stabbing a teacher.
The incident was reported to the cops at 9.10 am when it was informed that a pupil had allegedly stabbed a teacher in the school corridor at Tewkesbury Academy.
The teacher who suffered a single stab wound, was allegedly attacked with a knife by the teenage boy over some issue.
No one else was injured in the attack as he fled the scene immediately after stabbing the teacher at around 9 am.

The cops launched a manhunt to nab the accused who was found five miles away from the school at Stoke Orchard in Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom.
“The motive behind the attack remains unclear and it is not a terrorism-related incident,” Gloucestershire Police Assistant Chief Constable Richard Ocone told media.
The teacher was rushed to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment where his condition is said to be stable now.
The cops are investigating the teenage boy, who is now under custody, to find out the exact motive behind the crime. Further investigations in the case are on.
