Police: Student 'Possibly Stabbed' Following Basketball Game At Redford Union High School

REDFORD TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - A hotly-contested basketball game in Redford ended with one student apparently getting stabbed.

The incident happened Tuesday night just outside of Redford Union High School on Kinloch Street, near Beech Daly and 6 Mile roads.

Police tell WWJ's Charlie Langton it was a "possible stabbing" that occurred after a basketball game with Redford Thurston.

A large crowd had gathered off school grounds when a student felt a "sharp stab" in his back, according to police. The student was taken to the hospital for treatment and was released. His injury was described as non-life threatening.

Other circumstances weren't immediately clear. The suspect remains at large. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 313-387-2500.

It's the second incident this month in Redford where a student has been injured following a high school basketball game. Two weeks ago, on Jan. 13, two teens were injured when shots rang out after a basketball game at Old Redford Academy against Bradford High School had ended.
