A student has been caught shamelessly strolling around with a massive knife terrifying children and forcing classes into lockdown as two were injured.
The youngster was to have walked down a set of steps with the weapon as horrified teachers and students watched on yesterday.
Manshead School in Bedfordshire was plunged into lockdown.
It is alleged the knife-weilding school child was attempting to stab a boy who he was on the bus with.
The teenager is reportedly a student, aged around 16, and police said he was detained.
Two people were rushed to hospital but police said they managed to escape with only ‘minor’ injuries.
A text was sent to parents at around 2pm, which urged: ‘You may have heard that there has been an incident at school.
‘All students are safe. All procedures have been followed.’

A parent who wanted to remain anonymous told The Sun: ‘Apparently he was trying to stab one of the kids who was on the bus with him, but it was done at the school, not on the bus.’
Bedfordshire Police said: ‘Police were called just before 1.40pm today (Friday) to Manshead Upper School in Dunstable Road, Caddington, following reports of a student believed to be in possession of a knife.
‘Emergency services attended and a teenager was quickly detained by police. Two members of the school were taken to hospital for treatment for minor injuries.
‘We understand that this may be concerning, however we want to reassure the public that there is no wider threat to the community. We’d also like to praise the school for their swift response.
‘A specialist support team will be working to support students on their return.’
