Fall River Police have arrested the two remaining suspects involved in a stabbing outside of a local middle school.

A wanted 14-year-old turned himself into the Fall River Police Department on Tuesday evening.

A second juvenile age 17 was arrested Wednesday morning.

Police also arrested Charles Brothers age 18, of Fall River, and three other juveniles. They were charged in connection with the stabbing of a 30-year-old Fall River man.

At approximately 3:18 p.m., officers were called to Talbot Middle School on Melrose Street for reports of a stabbing. On scene, police learned an altercation had taken place outside the school resulting in the stabbing. Police say the group attacked the man as a result of alleged harassment towards the man’s son by the group. Police learned that Brothers along with at least six juveniles confronted the victim as he was driving in the area of Melrose Street and Stone Street. As the victim exited his vehicle, the group surrounded him at which time he was struck from behind and fell to the ground. It was reported the victim was then repeatedly kicked and stabbed four times.

The victim was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in serious but stable condition.
