“This quarrel has been going on for some time but the involvement of the scissor made it more serious than a playground fight between school kids,” said the Maldivian ambassador to Sri Lanka.

Three Maldivian students were arrested in Sri Lanka last Thursday after a fight at the Daybridge International School in Colombo.
Mohamed Hussain Shareef, the Maldivian ambassador to Sri Lanka, told the Maldives Independent that three teenage boys were injured in the altercation, including two Maldivians and a Sri Lankan.
“The wounds were not that deep. The doctors wanted to check for infections but once they realised it was not serious, they stitched up the wounds and released them to the ward,” he said.
The fight occurred between two Maldivian students, one of whom was armed with a scissor and accompanied by a group of Sri Lankan students. The other was backed by five Maldivian boys.
