A spokesman for West Midlands Police today said: "We were called to reports of a disorder involving a number of people outside Pegasus Academy in Scotts Green Close, Dudley, at just before 3pm on Friday, March 26.
"A woman in her 40s, who tried to intervene, suffered a cut to her face which was treated by paramedics.

The Pegasus Academy is run by Dudley Academies Trust. A spokesman for the trust said: "Unfortunately, at the end of the day on Friday, March 26, a group of older students from a school outside of the trust arrived at the academy gates and attacked some of our learners.
"Members of our staff who were on duty outside the gates intervened and one of them was hurt, as were two of our learners. The police were called and attended, as did an ambulance.
"The safety of our learners and staff is our highest priority and violence is never tolerated. The academy is fully co-operating with the police to identify the perpetrators involved from outside the academy and has also appropriately sanctioned Pegasus learners who were involved under our disciplinary policy.
"Staff have contacted the parents of all the learners concerned.
"The trust would like to thank those members of staff who dealt with this incident and assure parents that we always deal robustly with these thankfully rare occurrences.
