Teen charged with injuring guard in fight at Oak Park and River Forest High School
OAK PARK, Ill. (CBS) -- A teen at the center of a recent fight at Oak Park and River Forest High School turned himself in to Oak Park police this week.
The 16-year-old OPRF student is now charged with aggravated battery as a juvenile. He is accused of injuring a school security guard trying to break up a fight back on Thursday, Feb. 9.
The guard suffered cuts to her head and an arm injury.
The teen turned himself in on Thursday, authorities said.
Meanwhile, the CBS 2 Investigators learned in another incident during the same week in February, a male security guard was injured and needed stitches above an eye after a fight.
The fights aren't the only problems administrators are dealing with at the school. On May 3 of last year, OPRF was in the headlines after a student brought a gun to school. Three days later, on May 6, 2022, racist graffiti was found in a school bathroom.
