BALTIMORE – A parent is facing charges for reportedly assaulting students at Mervo High School in Baltimore Thursday afternoon.
A student let her parent in an unauthorized door at the school after that student had issues with another student, Baltimore City Public Schools confirmed.
There was a physical altercation between the parent and students.
Students at Mervo told WJZ the fight broke out in a hallway at the back of the school. The parent was identified by students as a postal worker.
“Two of our freshmen fighting about something,” said McKai, a senior at Mervo. “It was one parent that came to the school. The mail woman came in.”
McKai said he was in class but heard the commotion and could see students running.
“Running down the hallway to go to the second floor to watch the fight or try to stop it,” McKai said.
That parent, who has not been identified by police, was taken into custody on assault charges. The students have also been disciplined, according to school officials.
