Pupil of 8 in knife threat

A SCHOOLBOY of eight held a Swiss Army knife against another pupil’s throat and threatened to ‘cut him’, it has been revealed.

The boy made the threat in a corridor at St Paul’s Primary School in Primrose Hill, north London. It is believed the boy had the knife confiscated by a teacher at the start of the school day, but took it out of the teacher’s desk at going-home time.

The incident in January was revealed in a Camden Borough Council meeting to discuss knife crime. The school said: ‘We took all the appropriate action for dealing with the incident.’
