As many as 10 students may have been involved in a fight at Joliet West High School and no arrests have been made as the investigation remains open, police said.

At 7:06 a.m. Monday, officers responded to the high school after a detective learned of a disturbance in the cafeteria, according to Joliet Police Sgt. Dwayne English.

“Officers and school officials found multiple students involved in a physical altercation. School security and the detective intervened to separate the students,” English said.

About 10 students may have been involved in the fight, English said.
