A Hastings school was in lockdown after an “intruder” from another school came onto the grounds and attacked one of its student. A police spokesperson told Stuff the Hastings Intermediate school had put itself into lockdown about 9.10am on Friday, after a younger student was assaulted by another from a different school. Acting principal Lesley Smith said the school followed lockdown procedure after an intruder walked onto the school grounds. “He was recognised as another school student – not from our school, so we were able to give police some information around that. The student’s mother told Stuff her eleven-year-old had severe eye and facial damage with possible facial fractures.
