Student injured in cutlass attack over alleged sexual harassment at Assin Krofofrodo
A Junior High School (JHS) 1 student was hospitalized with severe cutlass wounds after an altercation with a female schoolmate during a school clean-up exercise at the Assin Krofofrodo D/A Basic School. The 15-year-old JHS 2 female student allegedly attacked the younger boy following repeated instances of unwanted physical contact, claiming he repeatedly harassed her by touching her breasts while they were working. The girl grabbed a cutlass and slashed him on his inner wrist, causing deep lacerations and profuse bleeding.
The victim's family accuses the school's management of gross negligence, claiming school authorities failed to intervene or provide immediate medical assistance. Joyce Enyan, the victim's elder sister, stated the boy was left unattended for a significant period while bleeding before his parents arrived to take him to the hospital. The family is calling for a formal police investigation into the attack and the conduct of the school administration.
