EAST FLATBUSH - A SCHOOL SAFETY agent at I.S. 285, the Meyer Levin Middle School for the Performing Arts, in East Flatbush suffered a knife wound to the calf on Wednesday, after intervening in a brawl between two students, the New York Post reports . The fight broke out on Beverly Road, outside the school, at 3:10 p.m., before the agent, age 53, stepped in to try to halt it.
Footage posted online shows a group of apparent passers-by pinning the alleged attacker to the floor. In the video the man, who was wearing a black coat, trousers and a blue rucksack, holds up what appears to be a knife as he is held to the ground. He then orders everyone to "get away" before standing up. The suspected knifeman is then dragged to the floor again by a hero security guard, before other security arrive and he is detained.
