SAN ANTONIO – Update (9 a.m. Nov. 17): A student at Legacy of Educational Excellence High School was arrested for cutting another student in a hallway earlier this month, according to court documents.
The male student, 17, was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, records with the Bexar County Jail show. His bond is set at $75,000.
KSAT is not naming the suspect because he is a student at the school. He will be identified if a grand jury indicts him.
