The RCMP say a male youth has been injured in an assault with a weapon outside a high school in Surrey, B.C.

Mounties say police responded to an assault with a weapon complaint outside Panorama Ridge Secondary on Monday.

Police say the injured youth was taken to hospital in stable condition and the school was placed on a "hold and secure" until the safety of all students was confirmed.

The RCMP say initial indications are that the assault was related to a dispute among people who know each other.

Police say there is no indication of an ongoing safety risk at the school but there will be an increased police presence as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
