A young man is due in court on Thursday after allegedly stabbing a classmate inside the library at his school.

Paul Joseph, 18, of Dorchester, is charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (knife).

Officers responding to TechBoston Academy just before 12:30 p.m. for a report of a stabbing found a juvenile male victim with multiple stab wounds, according to Boston Police. He was transported to an area hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening.

School staff told arriving officers the suspect, Joseph, got into a fight with the victim. They were eventually separated and Joseph was taken into a different room.

Authorities say a knife was located in the library and Joseph was placed under arrest.

He is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Thursday afternoon.
