Another melee Monday at a Milwaukee high school resulted in 12 students being taken into custody and cited for disorderly conduct.
Police were called to Bay View High School, 2751 S. Lenox St., about 2 p.m. for a fight inside the building, Milwaukee Public Schools spokesman Tony Tagliavia said.
The students later were released, but they will not be allowed to return to school and the district will seek alternative placement for them, Tagliavia said.
No one was injured in the incident, the fourth in less than two weeks in which police had to be called to quell disturbances at an MPS high school.
A police officer was injured Jan. 30 at Madison Academic Campus at N. 81st St. and W. Florist Ave. shortly after officers were called to the school to break up a fight between a female student and a woman who came to the school to confront her. Three boys were arrested in connection with the incident in which the officer was injured.
On Jan. 27 officers called to Madison for multiple fights Tasered a girl who kicked one of the officers in the face during a disturbance in which 11 people were arrested. That incident followed a fight at Washington High School the day before in which 12 students were taken into custody.
