A coach at an East Garfield Park high school was stabbed and seriously injured by a 16-year-old girl while trying to break up a fight outside the school.
The 21-year-old woman came upon the fight at about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday behind the Al Raby School for Community and Environment in the 3400 block of West Walnut Street.
Several teens were fighting, and the coach tried to separate two of them. One of the two teens, a 16-year-old girl, brandished a knife and stabbed the coach in the chest.
Police officers arrested the girl and cited her as a juvenile with battery, Mirabelli said. Police believe the knife had been hidden outside the school and was grabbed by the teen during the altercation.
The coach was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was initially listed in serious but stable condition.
