A boy was hospitalized after a fight broke out in a school locker room.
The student was taken for treatment after brawling with another pupil at Downey High School at 2:50 p.m Thursday, Downey Police Department said.
It is not believed any weapons were used during the fight, and both parties have been contacted by police.
Detectives are conducting a follow-up investigation into the incident.
It is not the first time Downey High has been at the center of controversy this year.
For in August the school band faced allegations of hazing after a 14-year-old girl told her mother what she experienced during a band initiation.
Stephanie Hughes told NBC4 that her daughter, who did not want to be identified, was blindfolded “with what looked like a dirty sanitary napkin” as part of the initiation Monday. Hughes said her daughter’s wrists were taped up and she had to walk up stadium stairs blindfolded.
