Darrel Campbell waded into the morning break mayhem to wrestle a butterfly knife from the teenage girl. An eye-witness said Mr Campbell put the girl into an armlock until police and emergency services arrived. The 1800-pupil Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, was put into lockdown after a 'Code Red' was called over the speaker system. The girl, a Year Nine pupil, was handcuffed and taken away for questioning into what police described as a 'multiple stabbing'. Pupils were walking back into lessons after their mid-morning break when the teenage suspect allegedly stabbed another girl in the stomach.

Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, also known as Amman Valley School, in Ammanford in the south Wales county, is on 'code red' with unconfirmed reports a stabbing took place this morning. The incident is said to have involved two girls before two staff intervened, a senior educational professional, who does not work at the school, told Wales Online. It is thought a teacher is one of those injured, but this is yet to be confirmed, who was flown by air ambulance 70 miles to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Police are not looking for anyone else in relation to the emergency situation and warned people who had shared footage on social media to remove it 'to avoid contempt of court and distressing those affected'. Councillor Karen Davies, a governor at the school, believed a stabbing had taken place and that two staff members were hurt.
