A 13-year-old girl was sent to the hospital following an incident that took place in on Thursday, police said.
The girl was grabbed by the hair in the hallway, yanked around, and punched in the face by another 13-year-old girl, according to the police report. The victim fell to the ground, suffering a concussion, a broken nose, and a sore neck, Police Chief Gary MacNamara said.
The juvenile who caused the injuries was issued a juvenile summons for third-degree assault, MacNamara said. Her court date was unavailable at the time of this report.
Police believe the incident stemmed from an earlier problem that erupted in the cafeteria, when food was thrown at another student.

A Bridgeport man was arrested and charged with larceny in the first degree Friday after he failed to return a rental car, police said.
Jonathan Cenat, 28, reportedly rented a 2011 Chrysler 200 on May 19 of this year. As of September, the vehicle had not been returned and the corporate security manager at Hertz reported the car as stolen to the police, MacNamara said.
State police recovered the vehicle on the highway in October, and Cenat was operating the car. His arrest warrant was still pending at the time, MacNamara said.
The Chrysler 200 was returned to Hertz. Early Friday, Cenat was arrested. It was not clear at the time of this report how Cenat was detained.
