3 students charged in Delaware school bus fight

NEWPORT, Del. (WPVI) -- Police in Delaware have charged three students for a fight on a school bus, and they say it all started because of candy.

The fight happened Thursday afternoon and involved students from the Christina School District.

Authorities say the fight got so out of hand that the driver pulled over on the side of I-95 in Newport and called police.

Police say a 17-year-old girl started throwing candy at another girl. That led to an argument, which drew in other students on the bus.

In the end, an 18-year-old who tried to break it up was allegedly attacked by the 17-year-old and two other students.

One of those students, a 16-year-old girl, is accused of spraying the victim in the face with some kind of chemical.

All three are charged with assault.
