A teenager is fighting for life in hospital after allegedly being stabbed by a male student at a school in far north Queensland.
An 18-year-old man was taken into custody and is assisting with the investigation, police said.
According to Queensland police, an 18-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed at the school grounds of the Peace Lutheran College in Cairns about 10.30am on Tuesday.
It is believed the two people are known to each other and there is no further threat to the public, police said.
Paramedics said the teen suffered a number of stab wounds to the torso and was taken to the Cairns hospital in critical condition.
In a statement issued to the media, the college said the parents of all students had been contacted after the incident.
The school said it would continue assisting Queensland police as they investigate the incident.
“All other students and staff are safe and being provided with support,” the college said.
Investigations are continuing.
