GARDEN CITY, Idaho (AP) - Police say a teenager had to undergo surgery after another teen stabbed him with a pitchfork while they were doing court ordered work in Garden City.

The Idaho Statesman reports (https://bit.ly/1KrKt4X ) the stabbing occurred at about 1 p.m. on Saturday in a church garden.

Garden City Police Department says several juveniles were working in the Vineyard Christian Church garden when two boys got into an argument. One boy then hit the other with a pitchfork and the tool got stuck in his upper body.

Police say the victim was transported to the hospital, where the pitchfork was surgically removed.

The other boy was booked into the juvenile detention center with a charge of aggravated battery. He will face an arraignment on Tuesday.
