Two St. Christopher’s students were arrested on May 6 for punching fellow students in the face on the Dobbs Ferry campus, that serves as a school and home for teens with emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities.  

A 17-year-old male resident of the school accused an 18-year-old male resident student of walking up to him outside on the school campus around 10:30 a.m. and punching him numerous times in the head and face. The victim sustained abrasions to the forehead and complained of headaches.  

About 20 minutes later, a 19-year-old student and resident of St. Christopher’s accused an 18-year-old student and resident of blooding his face and giving him a fat lip.  

Both suspects were charged with assault in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor, and were transported to Westchester County Jail.
