What began as a fight at a local high school earlier this month has ended with several male students being charged, some with assault.

What we know:

Police say the fight broke out between two 16-year-olds and four 17-year-olds in a hallway at Glasgow High School in Newark on January 15.

The School Resource Officer and school staff quickly broke it, and separated the students.

Two of the students were kicked during the fight. One was treated at a local hospital, while the other was evaluated by the school nurse.

They were all turned over to their guardians as police investigated.

All six students were issued criminal summons for offensive touching and disorderly conduct. A second 17-year-old was also charged with third-degree assault.

What we don't know:

Police have yet to say what spurred the fight, and if the students will face any punishment from the school.
