Two young men were stabbed today at Herlev Gymnasium near Copenhagen in what police say may have been a dispute between different neighbourhoods.

The two injured young men, who were stabbed in front of fellow students, are not in danger of their lives, according to the police.

Crisis aid has been called to help those students who witnessed the attack at the entrance to the school.

“There are about five students who witnessed the attack in one way or another and we are getting psychologists for them,” Headmaster Jan Vistisen tells Ritzau.

The deputy headmaster became aware that something was amiss when he saw students congregating at the entrance and was able to quickly determine that two students had been stabbed.

According to the reports, the two had been discussing with others in an argument that ended with a knife being drawn.

The two students who were stabbed did not want to wait for an ambulance and were driven to nearby Herlev hospital by other students.

Police are looking for two men in connection with the attack. One is described as a foreign man with a shaved head wearing military style trousers. Police do not yet have a description of the other man.
