The following day, police responded to Children's Village at 10:53 a.m. and reported the same two females students, both 16-years-old, had gotten into another dispute.
One of the females reportedly threw a glass bowl at the other's head while in a common room, causing a laceration on the upper part of her ear.

She was arraigned and released on her own recognizance and is due back in court tomorrow.
