Police say a 16-year-old student is in hospital and another teen is in custody after a stabbing at a school in central Alberta.

Mounties say they responded Monday morning to a call from Pigeon Lake Regional School in Falun, where they helped an air ambulance get the teenage boy to an Edmonton hospital.

Authorities have not released details on the teen’s condition.
