Police charged Chidat Tarawally, of Silver Spring, with first-degree assault, second-degree assault and possession of a weapon on school property.
About 11 a.m. Monday, police got a call for a stabbing at Northwood High School, at 919 University Blvd. Police found a 15-year-old male student with a stab wound in the upper leg, and he was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injury.
