A 12-year old boy was charged by police, after he attacked a preteen aged boy at a Salina elementary school playground.
According to Police Captain Mike Miller on Wednesday, May 14th at around 7:00 pm, three male preteens (aged 8-11) were playing at the Heusner elementary playground. Allegedly, a 12-year old boy around the area approached the three and started to disturb them.
The three boys then started to walk away from the boy, but he began following them. After some time, the trio returned back to the playground and the 12-year old then approached one of the three boys and began attacking him.
The 12-year old knocked the boy down and the other two preteens came over to help. According to Captain Miller, the 12-year old boy was taken to Salina Regional Health Center after the incident.
Salina Police say, officers visited with the 12-year old and his parents at the hospital.
After the visit, police charged the boy with a "notice to Comply" (NTC). This means the boy is obligated to appear in court, which is similar to a "Notice to Appear" (NTA).
