Student at ritzy boarding school attacks peer with ax: police

A student at an all-boys boarding school on the Connecticut coast is charged with attempted murder after he allegedly attacked another student with an ax on May 24 and then fled the scene. Oxford Academy Head of School Philip Cocchiola confirmed the attack in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying 'one student was hospitalized but is now in stable condition and the other is in police custody.

Investigators located the victim 'with serious injuries' and transported him via Life Star to a local hospital. CSP said security camera footage captured the juvenile suspect assaulting the juvenile victim. It also captured the suspect feeling the scene on foot, police said. 'The Central District Major Crime Squad responded to the scene to investigate,' CPS said in a press release.

The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff and the entire Westbrook community continue to be our highest priorities, and we are thankful for all the support and comfort we have received,' Cocchiola said in his statement. 'We understand that such events can cause fear and anxiety but rest assured that the campus is safe and secure. Communication channels are open, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
