(Omaha, NE) -- An Omaha Public Schools staff member is reportedly cut with a knife by a student during an altercation.

The staffer was taken to CUMC-University Campus with a non-life threatening injury. Douglas County 911 scanner reports stated that the staffer suffered a roughly 1 inch cut to his shoulder. Officers transported the suspect to OPD Central Headquarters to be interviewed. Charges are pending.
