BRONX, N.Y. ( WPIX) -- Students from a Bronx high school are in police custody after allegedly attacking a school safety agent with an umbrella, according to New York City police.
Desiree Vazquez, 17, is accused of assaulting safety agent Michelle Love on Wednesday afternoon at the Renaissance High School at the Lehman High School campus in the Bronx. Two of Vazquez's friends, 17-year-old Camille Burke and a 15-year-old boy, were also arrested in connection with the case.
The trio are accused of shoving and attacking both Love and another school safety agent, Richard Woodson, after the agents told the students to move out of a restricted area.
Police say during the attack, Vazquez jammed the tip of an umbrella into Love's eye. Love was rushed to the hospital where she received six stitches to close the eyelid gash. Officials say her sight was not damaged.
When police arrived on the scene, Assistant Principal Jason Maass, tried to stop authorities from arresting the students. He reportedly stood in front of the police van and tried to block its exit. Maass was arrested and is now facing charges of obstructing governmental administration.
Vazquez and Burke are facing felony assault charges in the attack. Charges against the teenage boy are unknown at this time.

Police: Weekend melee linked to social networking?
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - Police say they will step up patrols of Philadelphia's popular South Street nightlife venue following a weekend melee that involved an estimated 100 teenagers and young adults.
Authorities say it appears the young people were notified through online social networks of plans to converge on the area.
The violence and vandalism included the hijacking of a taxicab, assaults on two women in a sport utility vehicle, and vandalism of a convenience store.
Police say several people were charged with violating the city's midnight curfew.
Spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore says police had noticed groups of teens gathering in the city in the last few weekends. He says officials will monitor the social networks to try to identify the ringleaders.

The Halton District School Board is reviewing its procedures after numerous parents didn't receive automatic notification on Wednesday about school closures due to the weather.
A board press release states that staff at the Halton public board are problem solving with the provider of the board's Home Notification System.
It failed to operate as expected on Wednesday, Jan. 28, a day schools were closed due to a snowstorm.
Board officials say the system failed to notify many of its subscribed households, either by e-mail or phone, or in time for parents to be aware of the snow day decision.
The board says only 44 per cent of telephone subscriber calls were made to homes within the Halton public board on Jan. 28, with many calls made too late to be of value to parents and guardians.
"This is far less than the 94.8 per cent call rate the board experienced on the previous transportation cancellation message of Dec. 19, 2008," the board stated.
The Halton District School Board provides snow day information on its website ( www.hdsb.ca ), through its switchboard and through designated media outlets such as local radio and television stations.
The Home Notification System supplements the traditional communication methods.
The board says its notification system is provided through an outside party, which provides a similar service to other school boards in Canada and the United States. The vendor has responded to the board's two main concerns:
• the lateness of telephone calls and that many did not receive a telephone call;
• the late delivery of an e-mail notice. The board says the service provider
explained that they were over-subscribed with too many messages and not enough capacity within its delivery system to send out the required telephone messages to subscribers in a timely fashion.
"The timing of e-mail delivery may not be as easily resolved, however the vendor is also working on solutions to address this shortcoming. The Halton District School Board's priority is to ensure the telephone calling capacity is addressed in a time-effective manner," said the board.
