Authorities say students brawl at Cleveland zoo

CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities say things got wild at the Cleveland zoo when scores of students on field trips got into a fight that injured an eighth-grader and two adults.

Cleveland Metroparks rangers say Monday’s melee in the zoo parking lot involved more than 100 students from two Cleveland public schools. Seven juveniles were taken into custody as members of a police gang unit helped rangers break up the fighting.

A rangers’ report says the injured eighth-grader was treated at a hospital for a head injury and then released. One school employee was treated for injuries to his face, back and right shoulder, and the other was hurt on the arm when she tried to help her colleague restore order.

The school district says students who were involved could be suspended up to 10 days.
