A violent student fight in Newburgh injured a school employee Tuesday.

District officials confirm that a Meadow Hill staff member was taken by stretcher Tuesday morning after trying to break up a hallway fight between four middle school students.

Officials say a "hold in place" was issued to keep kids in their classrooms while staff regained control of the students.

There is no word on the staff member's condition or if any of the students involved were hurt during the fight.
