According to the Commander of the division, Superintendent Hugh Winter, the sisters were arrested and will be questioned in the presence of their parents and the school welfare officers.
The student who was stabbed underwent surgery Thursday evening at the Linden Hospital to have the blade removed. According to reports, the young girl sustained severe injuries to her ribs, her left lung, spleen and her stomach as a result of the wound.
She is said to be in a critical condition but should count herself lucky to be alive.
The 15-year-old of the Linden Foundation Secondary school was stabbed in her back with a Rambo knife on Thursday afternoon by another female student.
In a horrific video captured and posted online, students were seen cheering as the fight went on and even formed a circle around the two girls.
According to reports, the fight occurred at around 15:00 hours, moments after classes were over.
Things took a turn for the worse, after another female student pulled out a jagged black Rambo knife from her bag and stabbed the 15-year-old girl. The surrounding onlookers scattered and the video showed the injured student with the knife stuck in her bloodied back as she pleaded for help.

One adult could be heard saying “Ah tell ayo go home…Y’all doan hear.”
While most of the students ran away from the scene, a few with the help of an adult managed to flag down a passing taxi to transport the injured girl to the hospital while pleading with her not to remove the knife to prevent further damage.
There was also another fight later on, among three male students attached to the Linden Technical Institute where one student was assaulted with a cutlass. Commander Winter disclosed that the young assailant was arrested and has been released on bail.
According to him, the relevant statements were obtained and the file will be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution for advice on the way forward.
That male student from the Linden Technical Institute was assaulted by another student from the school with a cutlass in full view of adults who appeared too scared to intervene.
That video was also uploaded to social media; the student was being punched to the face by another, when another student wearing a white shirt rushed in brandishing a cutlass.
He fired several chops towards to the student who desperately tried to evade the blows. Surrounding students were frantic and could be heard pleading with them to desist but this cry fell on deaf ears. Brave students then attempted to block the assailant who quickly left the scene.
