According to Brentwood police Chief Mark Evenson, three male students -- two from Liberty High School and one from Independence High School -- began to fight inside the park, located at 710 Second Street, around 2:30 p.m. 

During the fight, one of the students was cut on the forehead and one was stabbed in the side, Evenson said. The students were taken to an area hospital, and their injuries are not considered life-threatening, he added.
