Arrest made in Stamford high school basketball 'mob' attack

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) Police have arrested a 19-year-old man for his alleged role in a group attack on two teenage students following a high school basketball game in Stamford.

Malik Claiborne was charged Monday with assault and conspiracy to commit assault in connection with Friday's attack that left one victim with a stab wound to his chest.

Police say the assault occurred around 9 p.m. following the conclusion of the game between Brien McMahon High School and Stamford High School.

The victims were confronted by a group of approximately 15 to 20 young men who asked if they were from Norwalk. When they replied yes, police say the two boys were ``viciously attacked by the mob.''

Police say Claiborne was identified as the ``main aggressor.'' It's unknown if he has an attorney.
