Police in Bradford are searching for a 14-year-old boy in connection with a stabbing at a school this morning.
Police were called to Dixons Kings Academy just before 9am to reports that a teacher had been stabbed.
The 50-year-old male teacher suffered a stab wound to his body. He is currently in a stable condition in hospital.
