Officers responded to the incident around 9:55 a.m. on campus in the 400 block of Nogales Street in La Puente, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

The school campus was immediately placed on lockdown to ensure the safety of all students, officials said.  

The incident started as a fight between two male students inside the boys restroom where one stabbed the other with a knife, according to a media statement released by Nogales High School. 

One student was taken into custody and the other was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The lockdown was lifted around 11 a.m. and classes will resume for the rest of the school day.

"Additional supervision is on campus and will remain as needed to support students and staff," Rowland Unified School District Public Information Officer Gina K. Ward said in a statement. 

The investigation remains ongoing.
