A teen girl was critically injured during a stabbing Wednesday afternoon at a Huber Heights park.

Officers responded around 1:05 p.m. to Herbert C. Huber Community Park at 5400 Chambersburg Road for a report of a stabbing involving two teen girls, according to the Huber Heights Police Division.

Huber Heights City Schools confirmed both teens were students at Wayne High School, and that the stabbing happened after school.

The stabbing victim was found conscious in the parking lot suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital in critical condition, police said.

The teen suspect ran north through the park and was quickly taken into custody by responding officers in the 5900 block of Longford Road.

The stabbing appears to be an isolated incident between the two teens and remains under investigation.

The district released a statement to Wayne High School families regarding the incident:

“We want to inform you about an incident that occurred between two students today after school hours at Community Park. Following the altercation, one student was transported to the hospital with injuries.

“Law enforcement is investigating and we will fully cooperate to support as needed.
