Pick Fight Lands Student in Hospital

Picking a fight received an entirely different interpretation at a Miami-Dade high school on Monday.

Police claim an 11th grader stabbed another 11th grader in the head with a hair pick during a fight at Miami Norland High school's computer lab. The victim was not seriously injured, but taken to a hospital to tend to a few scratches on the scalp.

Miami-Dade schools have been extra vigilant recently while guarding against students with weapons, but the alleged attacker got creative.

No word on what will happen to the creative attacker because Miami-Dade hasn't decided whether to charge him with a crime or brush it off.

It's unclear why the two students got into the scrape, but we doubt it was over hairdos.
