Fortunately for those involved (who will I suspect be the target of enough ridicule and mirth) the police seem to be keeping out of all this. Perhaps more liberal views have emerged since the Spanner case, or it may be that it seems here the students injured themselves rather than each other.

Mind you, they're still not anywhere near the league of this chap:
