The event took place Friday, Jan. 12, when the teen attacked a staff member with a weapon, said Hastings-on-Hudson Police Lt. David Dosin.

During the altercation, another student tried to intervene and suffered a "superficial" stab wound to the chest and a laceration to the hand, Dosin said. 

The staff member received an injured lip, he added.

The 13-year-old, whose name wasn't released because of her age, was charged with two counts of felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon, Dosin said.

Her case will be handled in family court due to her age.
