The video shows a fight between students. Global News is choosing not to share the full video due to its disturbing and violent content.

Police would not comment on any details of the investigation and will provide an update when investigators have completed their work.

They are also asking that people stop sharing the video out of an abundance of caution for the “mental wellness” of those involved.

“We do not condone this type of behaviour in our schools.  It has shaken our entire school community,” said Michelle MacLeod, a spokesperson for the CB-VRCE.

MacLeod said the centre of education is unable to speak to specifics about the incident as a result of privacy requirements but said school administration is conducting its own investigation under the school code of conduct policy.

“We will be co-operating fully with the Cape Breton Regional Police,” said MacLeod.
