A big fight at a Bronx high school ended with eight students in custody Tuesday morning, police said.
The brawl kicked off in the cafeteria at Crotona International High School in the Grace Dodge High School building on Crotona Ave. at around 11 a.m., according to school safety agents stationed there.
Eight students involved in the fight were taken into custody at the 48th Precinct. The students have not been charged.
Education Department spokeswoman Toya Holness said there were no injuries in the fight, and school staffers followed protocol.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of all students,” Holness said.
Local 237 President Gregory Floyd, whose union represents the school safety agents, blamed the de Blasio administration’s school discipline overhaul for fighting in the public schools.
“The de Blasio administration’s relaxed school safety rules mean more violence, guns, knives and drugs,” said Floyd. “It’s not working.”
