Two students have allegedly been stabbed in two days at Adelaide high schools.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested this afternoon after he allegedly stabbed an 18-year-old female student in her torso at a school in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs. 

Police were called to the scene just after 3:30pm. 

They said the boy used a box cutter and scissors in the stabbing.

He is being interviewed by detectives.

The victim has been taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, including cuts to her abdomen, lower left leg and throat.

Police believe both are students at the school. 

Second stabbing yesterday

A 13-year-old has appeared in the Youth Court today charged with stabbing another student at a city school on Tuesday.

Police say the North Adelaide boy used scissors to stab the student at the school in Adelaide's CBD about 4:45pm.

The alleged victim received minor injuries that were treated by the school.

The accused student was charged with aggravated assault, common assault and carrying an offensive weapon.

He was refused bail overnight but was granted bail when he appeared in court today.

He did not enter a plea.

His next hearing will be in September.
