LISBON, Portugal -

A 12-year-old boy stabbed and injured six other children Tuesday at a school in Portugal, police said.

Portuguese national police said that the victims were from 11 to 14 years old in the attack at the school in Azambuja near Lisbon.

One boy was seriously injured with a chest wound but his life is not in danger, according to Azambuja mayor Silvino L煤cio. The boy had been taken to a hospital in Lisbon.

The mayor said five girls suffered light wounds to their arms.

The attacker was in custody, the police said.

Portuguese Prime Minister Lu铆s Montenegro condemned the attack and wished for the quick recovery of the injured children in a message posted on social media platform X. He called it an 鈥渋solated attack鈥 that was extremely rare in his country.

鈥淚t was an isolated act and a strange occurrence in Portuguese society, but one that should make everyone who works in public space reflect with a sense of responsibility,鈥 Montenegro wrote in Portuguese.
