A fight breaks out between two female students this morning at Cocoa High -- one of them is flown to the hospital for treatment -- and now both are facing charges.

Police say this fight happened in front of lots of witnesses, investigators spent the better part of the day talking to them trying to find out exactly what happened.

One of the students was on a stretcher and loaded into a waiting medical helicopter.

Police say she and another girl began fighting in an outdoor area of the school near some classrooms.

"It was the school resource officer who jumped in to break the fight up," says Michelle Irwin with the Brevard School District Communications.

But not before one of the girls was briefly knocked unconscious -- and as a precaution, was flown to Arnold Palmer in Orlando to be checked out.

Police showed up on campus interviewing witnesses about the fight.

"It was close enough to a classroom where several people saw it, so they are talking to them to see if she hit her head on the concrete, what happened, why she lost consciousness," says Officer Barbara Matthews with the Cocoa Police Department.

The injured girl was released from the hospital less than two hours after the fight -- and both are charged with disorderly conduct and battery.

The school system says it's likely the girls will be disciplined -- but that will be determined pending the outcome of the investigation.
