There has been another ugly incident involving two groups of female school students in Lower Hutt. The schools concerned are believed to be Wainuiomata High School and Hutt Valley High School.

Police say they attended an incident at Westfield mall in Lower Hutt yesterday afternoon because of reports of fighting between two groups of girls reported by Westfield staff. One witness described seeing some of the students from rival schools in the Hutt Valley having blood on their school uniforms.

Police made no arrests as the 30 to 40 girls involved in the fight ran off as officers arrived. As yet neither High Schools are making comment.
