MASON CITY – Two male students duked it out in the hallways of Mason City High School Monday, sources tell NIT.
Mason City police confirmed Tuesday that the school police officer broke up a fight Monday shortly before 1:00 PM on the school property. The school and police are still investigating the incident. Charges are pending.
According to information relayed to the NIT newsroom, there had been chatter for some time about two male students – one possibly a junior and one possibly a freshman – engaging in a fight. As described to NIT, a junior boy approached a freshman and punched him in the face. The two then became entangled in a “grappling” situation before the junior delivered a knee to the head, knocking the freshman down.
“There was a lot of blood,” a source told NIT. There was blood in the hallway, in the bathroom and in the sink in the bathroom.
“A police officer told us to watch out for the blood,” a source told NIT.
Apparently, the older boy was under the assumption that the younger boy had “pulled a knife” on the older boy’s sister. The older boy is new to MCHS and appears to have just started school in April.

They should let students fight one on one. Lord knows the athletics at MCHS needs to toughen up.
Well, Lord help them if a teacher tries to break it up and a student gets bumped or scratched accidentally…then the whole situation comes back on the school. Let ’em fight.
Letting them fight one on one is outrageous. Fighting in general is not acceptable and completely sends the wrong message..no matter the situation that caused the conflict. There will always be kids fighting but that doesn’t mean we cave in and allow it to be acceptable.
Hope it’s not the kid that got kicked out of Newman a couple months back for posting on his web sight with a weapon. Die bitch!! On. No he’s in John Adams . Guess they slid that one by you all. Parents beware!!!
I will be anxious to see where these kids are from.. hope it’s not another import bringing their brand of violence to the schools. It’s bad enough that the adults are ruining our community….
Fear not. There are plenty of punks home grown right here in river city. See above about local punk that got kicked out of Newman an is now in John Adams. Good catholic boy going bad??
Why bring religion into it? Got a problem with catholics? The kid you are speaking about has some issues home life etc….a change of venue was probably good for him and some mental health counseling. How about you…need some mental health counseling as well?…sounds like you do.
Bend over ill show you a problem. Oh no that’s the pope!!
Again no explaining your racist views, just more childish dribble,…my guess you are a crack smoking, drinking a 40 under the bridge, high school dropout…hurry and respond before the librarian comes over and shuts off your computer.
